South Carolina Off the Beaten Path, 4th: A Guide to Unique Places

Summary: Sorely Disappointed South Carolinian
Review: This book was a big letdown. As a native South Carolinian I was looking forward to finding some points of interest that not everyone knows about. To suggest that places like Patriot's Point in Charleston are little known secrets is silly. There's a HUGE naval ship in the middle of Charleston Harbor! How can this be considered "off the beaten path"? This book would be helpful for someone visiting our state for the very first and possibly only time, since it's focus is on the most well known tourist attractions in our state. Fox didn't even have the dates for the South Carolina State Fair correct. Never, in my 39 years, has "the fair" been held in September. In fact, when I was younger it was even later in the year than it is now. I think maybe Mr. Fox has been living in Georgia or Florida and only claiming to be from our great state! He knows well the few restaurants he frequents in the low country, but that is it. The BEST book to check for really interesting places and history is SOUTH CAROLINA: A DAY AT A TIME by Caroline Todd & Sidney Wait. These ladies put our esteemed Mr. Fox to shame with their knowledge of our state.
