The Tallgrass Prairie supports significant biodiversity and parts of the ecoregion are known for being in the top ten ecoregions for reptiles, birds, butterflies, and tree species. The prairie is dependent upon fires for both its survival and renewal as it keeps the prairie from turning into a forest. That renewal process lends itself toward fostering diverse plant species with over 100 different plants found in less than 5 acres. Foraging the Tallgrass Prairie, written by local wilderness expert Bo Brown, highlights about a hundred commonly found edibles from ubiquitous herbs to endemic species. With sidebars, recipes, helpful tips, and toxin warnings throughout, Foraging the Tallgrass Prairie is the only guidebook the outdoor enthusiast will need to pick it, cook it, and eat it.

A century before Boston became been the birthplace of the American Revolution, Carolina Colony was the birthplace of entertainment and leisure activities in Colonial America. Building a civilized city in the uncultivated New World was hard work, but Southern settlers made sure to leave time for lifeΓÇÖs lighter pursuits. Inspired by the court of Charles II, the Merry Monarch, settlers in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Charles Town opened the countryΓÇÖs first public library (Nov. 16, 1700); hosted Henrietta Dering Johnston, the first professional female artist in the colonies (1707-1729); performed the first opera in America at ShepeardΓÇÖs Tavern (Feb. 18, 1735); founded the first golf club (1786); and many other firsts as the centuries passed. Every aspect of the port city elicited pleasure, from the architecture, to the magnificent parks and manicured gardens. CharlestonΓÇÖs remarkable landscaping was so widely known that in 1785, Louis XVI sent AndreΓÇÖ Michaux (known as ΓÇ£the kingΓÇÖs botanistΓÇ¥) to America to catalog and collect plants and trees for the royal nurseries in France. Throughout the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Great Depression, Charleston and other seaside towns along South CarolinaΓÇÖs coast were fertile ground for art, music, and opportunity. ItΓÇÖs no wonder the region has drawn famous characters for hundreds of years, from political leaders (George Washington; Thomas Heyward, Jr.; John C. Calhoun) to pirates (Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard), and the artists, writers, musicians, and architects who ushered in the Charleston Renaissance in the twentieth century. Take a journey through CharlestonΓÇÖs past with a look at the talented people and inspiring events that shaped the city and surrounding region into a cultural mecca of art, music, dance, and design. Each chapter features an itinerary for a walking/driving tour to help readers appreciate the lesser-known side of CharlestonΓÇÖs entertaining past.
