Description

A parliamentary duty on a common grocery item? The destruction of three shiploads of tea in one of the colonies' largest ports? By the way, what happened to the cargo of tea shipped to Charleston? What were the circumstances that brought colonial America's favorite non-alcoholic beverage center stage in a face-off between the mother country and her obstreperous children? And how did the citizenry of Charleston react to this latest taxation-without-representation enactment? All these questions as well as many as-yet-unasked ones will be answered within the pages of The Charleston Tea Party. Based on meticulous historical research through archives, this book makes the years leading up to the American Revolution come alive, with quotes from newspapers and correspondence from the era, supported by graphic images.

Author Biography:

John Young was raised on a dairy farm in Vermont's so-called Northeast Kingdom. At the earliest opportunity, he deserted the bovine lifestyle and moved to the big city, Burlington, where he attended the University of Vermont. After graduation, he worked in state government and, for a decade, operated a new and collectible comic-books business.Almost three decades ago, John and his family moved to the Charleston area. He quickly fell in love with the Holy City and its history. He worked as a docent and education coordinator at The Old Exchange, later became a registered tour guide, and currently is operations manager of The Powder Magazine, a colonial military museum.Photo by
