From the desk of master storyteller Sherman Carmichael comes a collection of over one hundred quirky tales from South Carolina. The origins of these stories are as elusive as the swamp monster that slinks along the bottom of Lake Murray and as hidden as the moonshine bootleggers buried inside the Stumphouse Tunnel between Charleston and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Discover how the witch Mary Ingelman of Fairfield County caused a man's cow to fly into the air, read the prehistoric petroglyphs of Pinnacle Mountain and visit the mermaid entombed inside the Hall of Wonders. Collected from Greenville to Myrtle Beach and down the coast, these stories have survived blizzards, tornadoes and pterosaurs to make it to the pages of this offbeat and rare collection.

Upstate South Carolina sits atop the Blue Ridge Escarpment, a geological formation known to the Cherokee people as "The Blue Wall." In this region, nearly every river, creek, or stream at some point forms a waterfall. Many of them are spectacular, and most are accessible to the average hiker on a day hike. This revised and expanded edition of the original guide includes 125 hikes ranging in length from a few hundred feet to 6 miles round-trip. Each leads to a destination like the famous Whitewater Falls or Bull Sluice, or a lesser-known cascade like Pigpen Falls or Bee Cove Falls. Each entry covers everything you need to know to get out and hike: photos, detailed driving and hiking directions, estimated hiking time, and trail difficulty, as well as waterfall class, rating, height, and more.

Sure to foster a greater appreciation for South Carolina’s waterways as well as a desire to conserve them for future generations, A Guide to Aquatic Habitats of South Carolina introduces readers, hikers, boaters, teachers and students to the remarkable beauty and complexity of the state’s wetlands. With almost a quarter of its acreage covered by water, South Carolina is a small state distinguished by biological diversity and an extensive range of habitats. This guide, written in an engaging and easy-to-read style by two experienced naturalists, tells the story of water’s inexorable movement from mountains to coast, and of the abundant plant and animal species that benefit from its many stops, starts, and backtracking along the way.

Underscoring the fact that the state’s streams, rivers, lakes, swamps, marshes and estuaries form a single, interrelated system, Pete Laurie and David Chamberlain explore the particular wetland habitats in each of South Carolina’s five physiographic regions. They describe habitats as varied as waterfalls, blackwater swamps, and tidal creeks and as distinctive as Carolina bays. The guide includes illustrations of flora and fauna, maps of the region, and suggested sites to visit throughout the state.

Written primarily to link the exhibits of the South Carolina Aquarium to the natural habitiats they represent, A Guide to Aquatic Habitats of South Carolina is an ideal companion for any exploration of the state’s natural areas.
