Local history lives: Battle of Charleston

BY BRIAN HICKS

For a moment, you can step back in time 150 years.

You can watch a blacksmith forge lantern hangers, listen to a nurse recount the horrors of war in a hospital tent, see a woman go through the slow, methodical process of making paraffin wax candle

That's right. You can watch paint dry. Wouldn't it be appropriate to sell your story then to tell right away how bland and boring the event your covering is? I didn't think so.
