Description

Stephanie E. Yuhl looks back to the period between 1920 and 1940, when local leaders developed Charleston's trademark image as "America's Most Historic City." Yuhl posits a larger critique about the use of heritage and demonstrates how something as intangible as the recalled past can be transformed into real political, economic, and social power.
