A Walk In The Parks: The Definitive Guide to Monuments in Charleston's Major Downtown Parks

by John R. Young

Strolling through downtown Charleston’s four major parks—White Point Garden, Marion Square, Waterfront Parka and Washington Square—has just been made easier and more informative with John R. Young’s guide.

With this book, Mr. Young, a registered Charleston tour guide and docent at the Powder Magazine, enables readers to self-tour these parks with the knowledge and authority of a city tour guide. Included in each park’s section are the location of the park and a brief history; a map of the monuments, numbered for ease of reference; and the details, history, and full-color picture of each monument described.

The book’s size, along with its waterproof cover, makes it perfect for stashing in a backpack or purse for the tourist on the go, whether you’re from out of town or just down the road.
