This volume, with over 200 black-and-white photographs, transports readers on an incredible visual journey across an nineteenth- and twentieth-century landscape of Charleston, a time and place unique in the city's and school's history. Documenting the school's antebellum days as the first municipal college in 1837, the turbulent years of the Civil War, the campus's growth and evolution in the earlier part of the twentieth century, and the traditions that continue today, this pictorial retrospective explores the many elements of the Cougar experience: the College's student life, the development and preservation of its buildings, its athletic teams and events, and the many diverse student-run organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ileana Strauch, Katina Strauch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e College History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.72w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738506364","brand":"Arcadia Publishing (SC)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709507932297,"sku":"9780738506364","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_4dec8818-633c-4599-a228-2bb8f8f5fc69.jpg?v=1719517646","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/college-of-charleston-9780738506364","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
