SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden History of the Dark Corner\nPresented by Drew Hines\n  \nThe Dark Corner is a region shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Both the oldest standing bridge and the only remaining covered bridge in South Carolina are found in the Dark Corner. An exclusive country club with a world-class golf course once stood on the craggy peaks of Hogback Mountain until the Great Depression forced its closure. The ghostly remains of the Blue Ridge Forest Resort can still be seen there today. The only person ever to die on the witness stand in Greenville County was Dark Corner resident “Big Alec” Campbell. A Shootout at a Baptist church high atop Glassy Mountain in 1891 exceeded the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in the number of shots fired. Drew Hines details these stories and more in his book Hidden History of the Dark Corner. \nDrew Hines is a native of Greensboro\, North Carolina\, but has spent most of his life in the upstate of South Carolina. A Baptist minister for forty-three years\, he is now retired and enjoys writing\, gardening\, and traveling. He received his undergraduate degree at the University of South Carolina\, and two advanced degrees from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville\, KY. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Revolution in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:Crescent Moon Over Carolina: William Moultrie and American Liberty \nPresented by C.L. Bragg\nMajor General William Moultrie is best remembered for commanding the valiant defense of an unfinished palmetto log fort on Sullivan’s Island at the entrance to Charleston harbor against a determined British naval attack on June 28\, 1776. While the Continental Congress in Philadelphia considered a draft of the Declaration of Independence\, Moultrie and his garrison of South Carolinians proved that untested\, but courageous\, American soldiers could stand firm and prevail against British might. \nDr. C.L. Bragg is a practicing anesthesiologist in Thomasville\, Georgia. His love for American history was sparked while researching his family’s history in South Carolina. He has published multiple books including Distinction in Every Service: Brigadier General Marcellus A. Stovall\, C.S.A.\, the critically acclaimed Never for Want of Powder: The Confederate Powder Works in Augusta\, Georgia\, of which he is coauthor\, and Crescent Moon over Carolina: William Moultrie and American Liberty. \n \n  \n  \n\nRevolution in the Carolinas is generously sponsored by:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Edgar Allan Poe in South Carolina\nPresented by Dr. Patricia McNeely \n  \nEdgar Allan Poe was stationed at Fort Moultrie in 1827 and 1828 under the assumed name of Edgar Perry. While there\, Poe was gathering material for the first detective stories in the English language\, including The Goldbug\, which was set on Sullivan’s Island. He also created the first American detective—C. Auguste Dupin\, who was the model for Sherlock Holmes and other modern detectives. The time he spent in South Carolina had a major impact on his literary career\, and Charlestonians are certain that the ghost of Annabel Lee still wanders in a downtown cemetery. \nUSC Professor Emerita Patricia G. “Pat” McNeely taught writing and reporting in the College of Journalism for 33 years. Before joining the USC faculty\, McNeely was a reporter and editor for The Greenville News\, The State and The Columbia Record. She has published several books on South Carolina and Southern history. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Revolution in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:The Grim Years: Settling South Carolina\, 1670-1720\nPresented by Dr. John Navin\, Coastal Carolina University \nAs the thirteen colonies were established in the “New World” the roots of the American Revolution were planted. The vast colony of Carolina\, divided in 1710 into North and South Carolina\, saw rapid transformation in its early years. Issues arose with the English Lords Proprietors\, trade with Native American tribes was lucrative but deadly for both sides\, and the growing slave trade at the Port of Charles Town led to an economic dependence on slave labor. It was in South Carolina’s infancy that religious\, political\, and economic turmoil laid the groundwork for the American Revolution. \nDr. John Navin earned his master’s degree at Boston College and his Ph.D. at Brandeis University. A Boston native\, John Navin joined the History department at Coastal Carolina University in 1999. He previously taught at Brandeis and Pfeiffer Universities. A specialist in Early American history\, Navin has published works that focus on race\, warfare\, gender\, and the impact of colonizing ventures on groups and individuals. In 2020\, he published The Grim Years: Settling South Carolina\, 1670-1720. \n \n  \n  \nRevolution in the Carolinas is generously sponsored by:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:The Battle of Cowpens\nPresented by Mr. John Boyd\n  \nThe Battle of Cowpens\, fought on January 17\, 1781\, during the American Revolutionary War\, was a pivotal engagement that significantly impacted the course of the war in the Southern colonies.  Led by General Daniel Morgan\, the American forces employed a brilliant double-envelopment maneuver\, decisively defeating the British forces under Colonel Banastre Tarleton. This victory boosted American morale\, disrupted British plans\, and paved the way for further successes\, ultimately contributing to the eventual American triumph in the war. Through an examination of the battle’s context\, strategy\, and outcomes\, we will gain insight into its lasting significance in the Revolutionary War and the development of modern military tactics. \nJoin former Cowpens National Battlefield tour guide\, John Boyd\, to explore the strategic importance of the battle\, the key figures involved\, and the tactics employed by both the Continental Army and British forces. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
