350 Facts about Charleston is a new book about, well, Charleston.  With facts.  Lots of them.  In fact, there are 350 facts, one for each year that Charleston’s been around.

The staff at the Charleston City Paper pulled together fun and arcane information about the Holy City to illuminate its deep, rich history.  Included in the 200+ pages are details on early settlers, the wars (Revolutionary and Civil) and the struggle for civil rights by descendants of enslaved Africans.  You’ll learn about food (Charlestonians have loved to drink wine for centuries), books, people, music, culture and much more. Bonus: Talented South Carolina cartoonist Robert Ariail offers 12 illustrations that should make a great calendar someday.

Andy Brack, publisher of the Charleston City Paper and Statehouse Report, has more than 30 years of experience in journalism.  A former U.S. Senate press secretary, he has written a syndicated political column throughout the 21st century.  Brack, a graduate of Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, lives in Charleston.  Contact:  brack@charlestoncitypaper.com
