Holy City Secrets is a compendium of first-hand accounts, forgotten facts, and many of Charleston's historical anecdotes that time has diminished. The full scope of the deeply researched past extends over 350 years, from the founding of Charles Town in 1670 to present. Voices from yesteryear tell us how it was - from A to Z - the Annals of Yesteryear to Zany Charleston. Though a few topics may be of high profile, there will be tidbits of much within those subjects that had heretofore been obscured. As Charleston has been elevated worldwide, tourists and resident immigrants alike will enjoy getting to know the Holy City for what it was - before it became what it has become!
