Greenville's Heritage

In June 1999 I began writing a biweekly column about Greenville's history for the new City People section of the Greenville News. The eighty articles collected here are arranged in generally chronological order, with four sections, from the beginning to the Civil War, Reconstruction to World War I, Streets and Neighborhoods, and the Armistice to the Present. Because these essays have been published over the last six years, there is some repetition and overlap among them. Furthermore, some are clearly dated; times change. I have included them because the history they record has not changed, even though the present has. Many have been triggered by a current issue or event, like the razing of Memorial Auditorium or an invitation to see Lowndes Hill Plantation. - Introduction.
