Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of James Kennard: With a Sketch of His Life and CharacterCharleston is an antiquated-looking place, wholly unlike the Northern cities of the United States. All the buildings look Old, and none of them are elegant. They are mostly Of brick, plastered with a composition resembling, or meant to resemble, granite. I saw but one building which looked less than thirty years Old, in the whole town. Lam told that the moisture in the atmosphere is the cause of this gen eral appearance of age exhibited by the city. Charles ton agrees very well with my idea of an Oriental metropolis. The buildings are generally detached I saw but few blocks. The principal streets are broad and spacious, and lined with pride-of-india trees, which must give them a very pretty appearance in the summer season. They are filled with people, who do not appear to move with the activity Of the Northerners, and the blacks, especially, barely creep along. The wharves were covered with cotton, the busy season being about to commence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
