SOLD OUT - Battleground Carolina: A Prelude to War with Durant Ashmore
2026-01-06 17:30 - 18:30
A 10-month lecture series meeting on the first Tuesday at 5:30 PM of the listed months below.

Join historian Durant Ashmore in an engaging lecture series that explores the American Revolutionary War through the lens of South Carolina’s Backcountry, a region whose people, terrain, and battles played a critical role in the struggle for independence. While often overshadowed by events in the northern colonies, the Backcountry was a contested and volatile landscape where Loyalists, Patriots, and British forces clashed in brutal and decisive engagements.
Drawing on primary sources, battlefield archaeology, and recent scholarship, Durant Ashmore will examine key battles of the Backcountry, the leaders and dedicated militia who fought them, and the civilian populations often caught in the middle. The series will highlight how guerrilla warfare, local loyalties, and geographic factors shaped the course of the war in South Carolina, ultimately and directly influencing the outcome of the Revolution.

The Super Highway in Upstate South Carolina
Presented by William “Lynn” Duncan & Scott Winthrow
Completed in 1946, U.S. Highway 29 was a groundbreaking development for the Upstate region of South Carolina, linking Greenville and Spartanburg with what was then considered a state-of-the-art roadway. The highway cuts a winding path through Piedmont, bringing with it not only improved transportation but also significant economic and social change. Over time, the corridor became home to thriving businesses, shaping a new landscape and helping define the modern identity of the region. Along this route, figures like J. Harley Bonds left lasting marks through his leadership in education and desegregation efforts. In this presentation, authors William “Lynn” Duncan and Scott Withrow delve into the rich history of this transformative highway, highlighting the people, places, and stories that have traveled its path over the decades.
William “Lynn” Duncan grew up in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, and spent forty-one years as an educator with the Greenville County School District. A passionate historian, he is a member of the Circus Historical Society and teaches courses on circus history through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Furman University. He is the editor of ten oral history books, including South Carolina Remembers World War II (1995), and brings a deep love of regional history to his work.
Scott Withrow, a native of Western North Carolina, is a retired educator and park ranger. He continues to pursue his interests in hiking, gardening, photography, drawing, writing, and travel. Active in local history, he volunteers with the Greer Heritage Museum and teaches history courses through OLLI at Furman University. With a shared passion for uncovering the stories of the Upstate, Withrow and Duncan bring history to life through engaging storytelling and meticulous research.
