0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Home Sweet Home helps make sense of a very Southern town with an atypical history. By L. Woodard Mark Woodard has drawn on many sources to produce a handy and historically accurate account of Summerville, S.C., the classic pinelandrefuge for Charlestonians and probably the first true railroad town in America. Lowcountry planters first realized that they could escape thesummer "sickly season" on the pine ridge beside the Sawmill Branch - then came the city people fleeing Yellow Fever. By 1890, invalids fromall around the world were filling the great inns of the village, seeking relief from pulmonary diseases. Biographies of memorable locals andlots of images keep the reading light; war stories and the most destructive earthquake east of the Mississippi River help to shake up the tale. The writing style is informal and friendly, appealing to visitors on tour through the heavily-wooded historic districts. Home Sweet Home helps make sense of a very Southern town with an atypical history. Dr. Ed West, President of Summerville Dorchester History Museum
