“The Importance of South Carolina in the American Revolution” is the topic of the next Revolutionary War lecture at the Laurens County Museum Magnolia Room on Tuesday, May 2, at 7:00 PM. Ailene Shields Humphries, from Spartanburg and author of a book by the name of the topic, will talk. The lecture is sponsored by the Laurens County Revolutionary War 250th Committee.
In the presentation, Aliene Shields Humphries talks about the newly established Liberty Trail in South Carolina and the fascinating but little-known stories of the Revolutionary War’s Southern Campaigns. The Liberty Trail includes sixty-nine battleground sites with a map. Ms. Humphries‘ several books, which include topics of the French and Indian War and the Civil War, will be available for purchase.
