A Brief History of James Island: Jewel of the Sea Islands

By: Douglas W. Bostick

In this engaging volume, local historian Douglas Bostick reveals the unacknowledged history of the second community in South Carolina, settled in 1671. Whether investigating prehistoric clues about Native American life before European settlement, detailing the history of agriculture and the reign of King Cotton, following armies from multiple wars or chronicling the triumph of equality on the greens of Charleston's Municipal Golf Course, Bostick tells the story of James Island as only a native son can. Join Bostick as he brings this small jewel of an island out of Charleston's shadow and into the light of its own rich, historic assets.

Charleston Under Siege

The Impregnable City

By: Douglas W. Bostick

Charleston was the prize that the Union army and navy desperately sought to capture. Union General Halleck, in writing to General W.T. Sherman, declared, "Should you capture Charleston, I hope that by some accident the place may be destroyed." However, despite bringing to bear the full firepower of the U.S. Army and Navy, Charleston would not relent. The defense of Charleston employed every tool available to an outmanned Confederate army. Yet after 567 days of constant attack by infantry, gun batteries and the Union fleet, Charleston would not surrender. Only after the evacuation of the Confederate forces to reinforce General Joe Johnston in North Carolina did the Federal government gain control of the city. Join historian Doug Bostick as he tells the story of the siege of Charleston, the longest siege of the Civil War.

Sunken Plantations

The Santee-Cooper Project

By: Douglas W. Bostick

The remains of more than twenty historic plantations rest beneath the waters of Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, and Charleston historian Douglas Bostick raises them from the depths in this haunting visual journey. South Carolinians have long desired a route for water navigation from Columbia to Charleston. An early Santee Canal effort ended in failure by 1850, but interest was reignited in the twentieth century. Roosevelt and his New Deal provided the necessary hydroelectric power and a boost to the state's economy through the funding of a navigable route utilizing the Congaree, Santee and Cooper Rivers. This ambitious undertaking would become the largest land-clearing project in the history of the United States, requiring the purchase of more than 177,000 acres.

Charleston's Trial

Jim Crow Justice

By: Daniel J. Crooks Jr.,Douglas W. Bostick

A harrowing, in-depth account of a black man’s wrongful conviction and execution for a white man’s murder in Jim Crow South Carolina. June 1910, Charleston, South Carolina. A Jewish merchant, Max Lubelsky, lay murdered in his clothing store on Upper King Street. Daniel “Nealy” Duncan, the black man eventually convicted of the crime was arrested several weeks later as an angry mob called for his lynching. What followed became the story of one man's quiet protestations of innocence in the face of overwhelming condemnation by the white community. Drawing on local historical records and detailed court transcripts, Charleston historians Danny Crooks and Doug Bostick give an intimate account of the proceedings, as well as provide the historical background on the vices, violence and victims of the Holy City during the Jim Crow era. Join them as they reveal the tale of a man whom justice passed by in the hot Southern summer.

Historic Photos of South Carolina

By: Doug Bostick

Native South Carolinian and historian Benjamin Brawley once wrote, ?The little triangle on the map known as South Carolina represents a portion of our country whose influence has been incalculable.” Always fiercely independent, South Carolina has been a republic twice in its history: once prior to the Revolutionary War, and second prior to the War Between the States. From the immense wealth of the Colonial period to the debilitating poverty of Reconstruction and the early twentieth century, South Carolina's history has always been compelling. One South Carolinian offered, ?We had our love of family, our love of history, our resistance to change that was both for and against us.” Blessed by the attention of photographers for more than 150 years, South Carolina and its remarkable past is seen through this fascinating collection of photographs, which brings the stories of the people and history of the Palmetto State to life. Join historian Doug Bostick as he chronicles the history of his home state since 1860, viewed through the lens of a camera.

Guidebook on Alternative Quality Management Systems for Highway Construction

By: Keith Robert Molenaar,Douglas D. Gransberg,David Neil Sillars

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 808: Guidebook on Alternative Quality Management Systems for Highway Construction provides national guidance on standard approaches relating to quality management systems (QMSs). The basis for the report stems from a lack of guidance that resulted in significant investment on the part of transportation agencies, contractors, and consultants to develop unique QMSs for different agencies on a project-by-project basis. The speed at which rapid renewal projects must be delivered creates a demand for a well-defined QMS that can be successfully replicated on a variety of projects. The report will guide readers through the process of developing a QMS that is both responsive to specific project needs and broad enough to be replicated with project-specific adaptations on future projects of similar scope, complexity, and delivery schedule. The project quality assurance organization (QAO) selection forms presented in the report are available online." -- Publisher's description.

On the Eve of the Charleston Renaissance

The George W. Johnson Photographs

By: Douglas W. Bostick,Daniel J. Crooks, Jr.

This book reveals an incredible collection of black-and-white images taken by an unheralded turn-of-the-20th-century photographer, images that capture Charleston when she is coming into her own a half-century after the Civil War. Charleston, S.C., was considered 2Queen of the South,3 until bloody conflict, famine, fire and infestation ravaged the city during the Civil War and reconstruction. When George W. Johnson came on the scene in the early 1900s, Charleston was catching her breath, on the verge of an era of great inspiration. Unlike his peers who mostly confined their work to the studio, Johnson took to the streets and byways of Charleston and the lowcountry. His black and white images freeze frame the city and her people during this time of great transition. The collection of Johnson images compiled by authors Douglas Bostick and Daniel Crooks has never before been presented. These images and the thoughtful narrative accompanying them capture the spirit of a time rarely portrayed in Charleston histories. In addition, the authors portrayal goes a long way toward debunking some long-held myths about the history of Charleston during that time. Johnsons photographs of black Americana are raw and real faces that show the wear of hard times and, sometimes, a moments joy. Johnson captured Charlestonians at work and at play. He captured the architecture, churches, intricate ironwork and the wharf, as well as one of the most notable events of the time, the Worlds Fair held in Charleston in 1901-02.
