About Michael and his
historic Charleston Tours
As a seventh-generation
Charlestonian raised in the historic South of Broad district, I have a lifetime
of first-hand knowledge about the people, places and events that have shaped
the �Holy City�. As an award-winning local journalist and two-time author, I
have also done exhaustive research on Charleston history, architecture,
ironwork, cultural heritage, natural landscapes, graveyards, wars and natural
disasters, and maritime legacy. I was host of the acclaimed CAROLINA CAMERA
television series for two decades at the local CBS affiliate, winning more than
forty awards for human-interest stories about the Charleston area. I have
authored two books on Charleston that feature a wide variety of subjects and
locations in the city - THE CHARM OF CHARLESTON and CHARLESTON YESTERDAY AND
TODAY.
My tour offers an authentic and entertaining journey of discovery through the
most scenic and historic areas of Charleston, with array of cobblestone streets
and wrought iron
gates, flourishing parks and gardens, exquisite colonial churches and taverns,
harbor front vistas and quaint alleys, and the stunning beauty of classic
mansions and public buildings. I explain thoroughly Charleston�s unique history
and culture from its founding in 1670 to its realities today. The character of
the tour is more conversational than a recital of facts, and I enjoy being good
company as well as an excellent guide. I look forward to meeting people from all
areas and backgrounds who take interest in the marvelous city I have always
called home, and I promise to make it a fascinating and enjoyable experience.
