The Medicos, the Purple Hurricane, the Seceders- all South Carolina football mascots that long ago drifted into history. From as early as 1889, college football began to take hold of South Carolina. The fans of the state's first intercollegiate game could hardly have foreseen how it would steadily grow from a competition between amateurs into tightly organized teams with well-paid coaches and demanding alumni, all with a passionate desire to win. This volume goes beyond Clemson and Carolina to trace the history of college teams from all over the state, including Wofford, Furman, SC State, Presbyterian College, Erskine, Claflin, The Citadel, MUSC, the College of Charleston, Newberry College, Benedict College and Allen University. Join museum curator Fritz Hamer and longtime South Carolina high school football coach John Daye as they celebrate the state's most notable coaches, players and rivalries, as well as the many unsung heroes who have helped to make the sport a statewide obsession.

“Hamer clearly knows the business of selling. Rich with Scripture verses and biblical principles, this is a book that believers who are in sales will study and refer to often.” Bruce K. Bell, Ph.D., Associate Dean of Liberty University’s College of General Studies and former Dean of the School of Business “This is a must-read book for anyone who needs to improve their lot in life... because the greatest teachers sell education, the greatest preachers sell faith and the greatest parents sell their values on their children. Learn to sell from a master teacher who teaches the principles of the real Master Teacher!” Willie Jolley, Best Selling Author of A Setback Is A Setup For A Comeback and An Attitude of Excellence! “Selling requires a solid foundation of wisdom and knowledge. Author Michael P. Hamer taps into the world’s best source for sound information, the Bible, and connects us with that resource in a fresh way.” Jeff Arnette, Executive Producer & Host of The Arnette Report Selling Righteously is the first book that explains how to apply biblical wisdom to all aspects of selling: prospecting, questioning, presenting, closing, servicing, and handling objections. Anyone using this book to increase their income and improve their business relationships should be extremely satisfied. However, the primary reasons for Selling righteously revolve around accountability. Each of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ to account for everything done. Everyone needs their accountability appearance to reap heavenly rewards. It makes the reasons for Selling Righteously heavenly. (2Corinthians 5:10) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

As the nation entered World War II, the city of Charleston struggled with a stagnant economy that had never recovered from the Civil War. The glory days of the antebellum period were decades in the past, yet Charlestonians drew their pride from a bygone era, rather than from hope for the future. This compelling look at Charleston's twentieth-century history chronicles the changes and challenges faced by Charleston as its population exploded in response to expansion of the Charleston Navy Yard. As World War II called for the United States to flex her industrial might, the shipyard rose to meet the challenge and 55,000 new residents flooded into the city. Charleston was unprepared for such dramatic expansion: the need for labor at the yard meant the sudden appearance of good jobs, but also resulted in severe housing shortages, food rationing and dilemmas over race and gender. Ongoing workforce shortages forced the navy to look to sources of labor previously regarded as unsuitable--African Americans and women--causing dramatic changes to the status quo. Author and historian Fritz Hamer makes use of written documents and oral histories to argue that the war's effects pulled a reluctant "Holy City" into the twentieth century, setting the stage for further modernization and growth. Warm personal accounts from a range of individuals who witnessed the city's dramatic change provide a human element in Hamer's solid research. Well written and imaginatively conceived, Charleston Reborn will interest the general reader as well as a wide range of historians--from students of World War II and chroniclers of gender and racial history, to urban historians and scholars of the modern American South.
