In this volume, Tally Johnson, noted folklorist and librarian, casts a light on ghost stories from one of the most pivotal periods in both American and South Carolina history: The Civil War. From Fort Sumter to the Burning of Columbia and from the Gray Man of Pawleys Island to the lesser-known tale of Florena Budwin, all sections of the state are covered in his unique style. A brief overview of both events leading to the War and of events in South Carolina during the War are also included. A lengthy bibliography is also included, covering both the ghosts and history of the period in South Carolina for further reading.
