Book Overview
Patriots, Pistols, and Petticoats vividly portrays the lively--at times bawdy--atmosphere in Charleston during the Revolutionary War era. This brawling port city--the fourth largest in Britain's North American colonies and the largest in the South at the time of the Revolutionary War--boasted commerce, politics, cultural events, and entertainment as sophisticated as any found in America. From the city's taverns and streets to the drawing rooms of its elite, from its shipping trade to its agriculture to its political rivalries, Walter Fraser's thorough research and revealing anecdotes offer an entertaining and informative history of this distinguished city and its role in the colonial fight for independence.

Very interesting and unique information!

This is an excellent little book for taking a peek at life in Charlestowne before and during the Revolution. This little work contains a number of interesting and little known details of life in the area. A very nice history for the moderately interested reader or those new to the subject.
