We were all Geechees then. Our Geechee commonality remains in the Charlestonese inflections--and were losing it faster than the Wild West lost the bison.Coming here one would have no idea of what once was and still is. The chapters will weave through the realities the mysteries and the motives. They are arranged without chronology so that random chapters may be read in any order. The intent is to give a cumya or even a stunned tourist the insight to what this city represents.
