This photo was taken by a friendly fellow-traveler during our trip to Charleston, SC between Christmas and New Year's.Pictured from left to right are my sister-in-law, a brother-in-law, me, my wife, my mother-in-law, and another brother-in-law.
Behind us, but not visible in the pic taken on a beautiful, sun-washed day, is Fort Sumter, the place where South Carolinian rebels attacked the Union forces there, the opening salvo of the tragic Civil War.
In Charleston at that time, there were important people who didn't want to see the Union dissolved. They included William Aiken, one-time South Carolina governor, whose home is preserved.
