An expert in Gullah culture introduces the rich history of black Charlestonians through a series of local walking tours plus a sightseeing drive. The Gullah people of the Lowcountry South are famous for their cuisine, Creole language, and exquisite crafts—yet there is so much more to this unique culture than most people realize. Alphonso Brown, the owner and operator of Gullah Tours, Inc., guides readers through the history and lore of this storied people in A Gullah Guide to Charlestown. With this volume guiding the way, you can visit Denmark Vesey's home, Catfish Row, the Old Slave Mart and the Market; learn about the sweetgrass basket makers, the Aiken-Rhett House slave quarters, black slave owners and blacksmith Philip Simmons. Brown's distinctive narration, combined with detailed maps and vibrant descriptions in native Gullah, make this an authentic and enjoyable way to experience the Holy City.

A collection of fantastical and macabre Gullah-inspired folklore that illuminates African-American life in nineteenth-century South Carolina. You ask for a story. I will tell you one, fact for fact and true for true. . . . So begins “Crook-Neck Dick,” one of twenty-three stories in this beguiling collection of Charleston lore. John Bennett’s interpretations of the legends shared with him by African-descended Charlestonians have entertained generations. Among them are tales of ghosts, conjuring, superhuman feats, and supernatural powers; accounts of ingenuity, humor, terror, mystery, and solidarity will enchant folklorists, students of Charleston history, and all those who love a good ghost story. Julia Eichelberger, the Marybelle Higgins Howe Professor of Southern Literature and an executive board member of the Center for Study of Slavery at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, provides an introduction. “A collection of folk story, myth, drolleries, macabre unreason . . . old tales of death, mystery, bizarre incredibilities, diabolic influence, demanding ghosts, buried treasure, enchantments, miracles, visitations, and the dead that are not dead.” —Kirkus Reviews

This book takes the reader on a tour of African Americans Historical Markers in the city of Charleston, SC. Many sites where Free Blacks lived, worked, went to school, and owned businesses during slavery and reconstruction have disappeared, others have been repurposed or remodeled into something unrecognizable. Some of the sites are marked with historical markers and many have disappeared without a trace. Charleston is a city where hundreds of thousands of visitors visit each year to enjoy its rich history of beautiful homes and gardens that were built by enslaved Africans and African Americans and to learn about the history of slavery in this city. This city has a rich Gullah-Geechee culture. This author grew up in this culture and is passionate about sharing her history. Between these pages you will find markers of African and African American homes, schools, churches and businesses. This book takes you on a tour of those sites. Most are in the city of Charleston but some significant markers from nearby cities have been included. It gives you a glimpse of Black History at a time when Blacks had no history. This is a book with all of the markers in one place by streets making it easy for you to plan your visit. You can use it as an educational tool or a guide. As you visit the markers, think of the dearly departed and pause for a moment to celebrate their lives and reminisce about their history and perseverance. Living through the pain of slavery and Jim Crow laws to obtain home ownership, educate themselves, and start their own businesses was a huge challenge, but they made it and many were extremely successful in business, politics and many occupations. I hope this book makes your visit a bit easier and more enjoyable.

Hand-lettered and full color throughout, Very Charleston includes maps, an index, and a handy appendix of sites. With her cheerful illustrations and love for discovering little-known facts, Diana Gessler has created both an entertaining guide and an irresistible keepsake for visitors and Charlestonians alike.
