These journal entries from Edwin Pearlstine’s time “Over There” during the First World War were written only a few months apart. The first entry was written just after his arrival in Europe in the spring of 1918 & the second shortly after his time on the Ypres Front. #VeteransDay
When this sketch was created in 1886, Charleston was only a few months away from what would be one of the most devastating earthquakes to ever hit the East Coast. Today, the intersection of East & South Battery looks much like it did 137 years ago, minus the cars and tourists!
