I purchased the three short treatments on battles in South Carolina, shown below, while I was looking for sources for upcoming posts on them. One doesn’t often see much written on these battles. They were on Ebay for $20. Here is the description of the item on Ebay by the father of the author- “The Pocotaligo Expedition (1997), The Civil War in Southwestern South Carolina (1997), and The Battle of Honey Hill, SC (1999) are three carefully researched Civil War histories. They were all written by my son Robert B. McNair, a native of South Carolina, historian and founder of his research base, Western Carolina Historical Research. These histories have sold on eBay, and privately to many Civil War and American history buffs, since their publication. Sadly, Robert B. McNair died in 2014, but his books, as well as his war game, continue to sell at The Frampton House, Point South, site of the actual Battle of Pocotaligo, on the way to Beaufort, SC, on Highway 17, and through me, on eBay. I just recently renewed my activity and am extremely proud of these histories!” As if this morning there were still seven sets available. My favorite source for these battles which I have in hard cover and kindle editions is Rebellion, Reconstruction, and Redemption, 1861-1893, The History of Beaufort County, South Carolina, Volume 2 by Stephen R. Wise and Lawrence S. Rowland. I’m still looking for a copy of- The Battle of Pocotaligo, October 22, 1862 by Lewis G. Schmidt which is very hard to find.
