{"product_id":"south-carolinas-lowcountry","title":"South Carolina's Lowcountry","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnown for its unique beauty and complex history, South Carolina's Lowcountry is one of the South's, and the country's, most fascinating regions. A wonderful blend of picturesque coastlines, expansive marshes, mysterious swamps, and verdant landscapes, the Lowcountry has played a vital role in our nation's history, from its importance as a port in colonial times, to its strategic location during the American Revolution, to its most famous landmark, Fort Sumter--the incendiary starting point of the Confederacy's struggle for secession. In this volume, you will explore this region as never before, through a rare collection of stereoscopic images. Also called stereoviews, these twin images were made by an early photographic technique which allowed the viewer to experience a vibrant and intriguing three-dimensional effect. South Carolina's Lowcountry has reproduced one side of each stereoscopic pair in order to facilitate an easier reading and viewing experience, which will allow you to take a visual journey through the defenses of Forts Sumter and Moultrie; to see both Confederate and Union soldiers posing in their camps, by cannon, and upon ironclads; to walk through the rubble of a war-torn Charleston and then observe the dramatic changes of the cityscapes in both the Holy City and Beaufort by the turn of the century; to stroll down a plantation's traditional avenue of live oaks under the peaceful sway of Spanish moss; and to meet a variety of Lowcountry inhabitants at their homes and at work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcadia Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53342388715827,"sku":"9780738502106","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/0978\/5395\/files\/0aad1b74a7fc0d20c5579792615d9700ec571932b0486fd0bfacfb8995fcf2eb.jpg?v=1778678121","url":"https:\/\/colletoncoffee.com\/products\/south-carolinas-lowcountry","provider":"colletoncoffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
