As a base of operations for more than three thousand troops early in the war and the site of more than a dozen forts, almost every inch of the coast was affected by and hotly contested during the Civil War. From the skirmishes at Fort Randall in Little River and the repeated Union naval bombardments of Murrells Inlet to the unrealized potential of the massive fortifications at Battery White and the sinking of the USS Harvest Moon in Winyah Bay, the region's colorful Civil War history is unfolded here at last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Simmons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596297808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596297807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.04w x 0.49d","brand":"Rick Simmons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984486629631,"sku":"9781596297807","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c11dc3e5-5872-435a-8845-cdcf4899fda5.jpg?v=1683272586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defending-south-carolina-rick-simmons-9781596297807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
