As Charleston’s premier sculptor of the twentieth century, this exhibition will examine the body of work Willard Hirsch (1905–1982) developed over the course of his fifty-year career. A native of Charleston, Hirsch trained at the National Academy of Design and the Beaux Arts Institute in the 1930s. He returned to Charleston after serving in the military during WWII and established a studio where he welcomed sculptural commissions from private collectors and public institutions. He worked in a variety of media, ranging from terracotta and plaster, to wood and metal. Over the course of his career, Hirsch exhibited his work at the National Academy of Design, National Sculpture Society, Whitney Museum of American Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and in numerous galleries and museums in the Southeast.

Some of Hirsch’s best known work is on permanent exhibition in Charleston’s public parks, including bronze sculptures in Washington Square Park, White Point Garden, the Gibbes Museum of Art garden, and Charles Towne Landing. During the exhibition, the Gibbes will distribute a guide of Hirsch’s sculptures on view throughout Charleston.

An accompanying cell phone audio tour is also available so that art lovers can tour Hirsch’s work inside and outside of the museum. Free with paid admissions, curator-led tours will be available on October 11 and November 15 at 2:30 pm.

Established as the Carolina Art Association in 1858, the Gibbes Museum of Art opened its doors to the public in 1905.

Located in Charleston’s historic district, the Gibbes houses a premier collection of over 10,000 works, principally

American with a Charleston or Southern connection, and presents special exhibitions throughout the year. In

addition, the museum offers an extensive complement of public programming and educational outreach

initiatives that serve the community by stimulating creative expression and improving the region’s superb quality of life. Visit highlights of the Gibbes collection on Google Art Project at www.googleartproject.com. For more information, visit www.gibbesmuseum.org or call 843-722-2706.

Thursdays-Sundays through October 28

The Preservation Society of Charleston will host its 36th Annual Fall Tours of Homes and Gardens through Sunday, October 28, 2012. The tours take place each Thursday evening from 6-9 pm, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 2-5 pm. All tours are self-paced walking tours held on the peninsula of Charleston within the city’s world-renowned historic neighborhoods.

The Tours feature beautifully appointed gardens and architecturally significant homes, churches and public buildings. Highlighting the best of American architecture from the early Georgian Period up to and including the 21st century, each tour shares a unique neighborhood that represents Charleston’s flourishing culture from the Colonial era to the present. Most of the properties on tour are privately owned and are open to the public exclusively for this event. Trained volunteer guides will interpret the history, architecture and decorative arts of each property. Pleasantly warm afternoons and crisp evening air make fall the ideal season for a walking tour in Charleston.

Tickets are $45 per person, per tour, and may be purchased through the Preservation Society of Charleston at www.preservationsociety.org, the Book & Gift Shop at 147 King Street or by calling 843-722-4630. Weekend packages and group rates are available.

Charleston’s historiC Market is one of the area’s must see attractions. having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and Civil War bom-bardment. over 200 years ago, a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. to this day, the charm-ing Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Market hall faces Meeting street as the main entrance to four blocks of open-air buildings. one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants have something for every taste. Charleston’s famous carriage tours also depart from the area.

Preserving gullah TradiTions: drayTon hall’s 29Th annual sPiriTuals ConCerTs

Every year for the past 28 years, Drayton Hall has presented African-American spirituals music with three concerts by Ann Caldwell and The Magnolia Singers. Ann Caldwell is a full-time vocalist, producer, and performing artist who has studied voice with June Bonner, former soprano with the Metropolitan Opera. The Magnolia Singers are an a capella vocal ensemble dedicated to the preservation and performance of early Southern music and spirituals.

These concerts offer a rare opportunity to gather in the atmospheric raised English basement of Drayton Hall’s main house to hear music that could have been heard centuries ago in the surrounding fields and praise houses. Gullah music and spirituals have been described as the “life music” of slavery. “Listening to Gullah spirituals, audiences sense the courage it took to endure, and they feel the satisfaction that Gullah music offered the soul,” says performing art-ist Ann Caldwell. “Through the years, the music continues to offer a way to share, to celebrate and to shout troubles out.”

In the tradition of the Gullah spirituals’ call and response pattern, the Magnolia Singers invite Drayton Hall audience members to join in. “That’s where the Gullah spiritual makes its impact,” Caldwell explains. “It calls people to be part of the music; rather than sitting passively on the sidelines, it invites them to connect with the words and those around them. Take ‘This Little Light of Mine’—it’s an invitation to stand up and let that light shine—audiences love it because they can relate to the message.”

It is not uncommon for the group to branch out in the course of a single song, each singer varying verse, tune, and tempo, to weave what Caldwell describes as “a tapestry of music.” Often on the program is a playful piece entitled “Shine” that captures the variety and genuine-ly expressive quality of Gullah performance. “Everybody has something they want to show off,” laughs Caldwell, “and this piece has a good time poking fun at that universal trait.”

The evening begins with a catered reception and informal tours of the house given by Drayton Hall’s professional tour guides and is followed by the concert. Reservations are required. There will be two performances on Saturday, at 3 and 5:30 pm and one on Sunday at 3 pm. Tickets are still only $35 for adults and $30 for Friends of Drayton Hall. Please call 843-769-2600 or visit www.draytonhall.org for information and reservations.

An hour’s drive south of the Holy City, Edisto Island’s charm will draw you in before you even reach this unspoiled retreat. Highway 174, the primary road that travels over the island, has been designated as a National Scenic Byway, making it one of only four roads with this designation in the state and one of 151 in the country.

Situated between the North and South Edisto Rivers, the Island is located on the edge of the ACE Basin, one of our country’s most beautiful and well protected wildlife preserves. Set on thousands of acres, the ACE Basin offers visitors many opportunities to enjoy its beauty, including hunting, fishing, boating, bird watching, bicycling, hiking and studying nature.

Edisto Island’s historical legacy began with the imprint of the Edistow Indians who lived along the banks of the Edisto River, one of the longest free-flowing blackwater rivers in North America. The Spanish arrived here in the 1500s, followed by English settlers in the 1600s. With them came the Earl of Shaftsbury, one of the original Lord Proprietors, who purchased Edisto Island from the Edistow Indians in 1674. From then on, the English remained, first living off the sea, before cultivating money crops of rice and indigo. By 1790, planters had turned to the long staple cotton and began growing a type of cotton known as Sea Island cotton, one of the finest types ever produced. It was this crop that brought great wealth to those on the island.

Many of the elegant houses and plantations remaining today are reminders of an affluent age. A number of these historical treasures are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and some are put on tour annually by the Edisto Island Historic Preservation Society. This year’s tour will take place on October 13.

In the 1920s, signs of tourism began to appear at Edisto. Despite the rise of tourism, the area remained largely undeveloped, mostly due to the inaccessibility

of the beach. Until the first one-lane wooden bridge was built in 1920, travelers to Edisto were forced to drive over

beds of oyster shells at low tide in order to access the island from the mainland.

Lowcountry Backroads

Lowcountry Backroads


Development on the island began to increase after World War II, but inhabitants of the island sought to preserve its unspoiled beauty. As a result, it saw little commercialization. Generations following have continued to preserve its deep history and modest commercial infrastructure.

Enjoy your time in Edisto Island. There is something here for everyone any season of the year and it’s certain you’ll leave relaxed, carrying away some of the peace and tranquility that’s ever present on Edisto Island.

Cobblestones of the Past


Ghosts on the Uss YorktownEven if this is your first visit to Charleston, you have likely seen the USS Yorktown moored across the Cooper River, her 34,000 tons of steel dominating the view across the water. The Yorktown has been here since 1975 when she was donated by the US Navy to the state of South Carolina, to be the centerpiece of Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum. Her nearly 30 years of service, spanning several wars, along with her involvement in the Space Program makes her one of the most historic vessels to ever serve the United States.

In February of 2012, the television show Ghost Hunters on the Syfy Channel, featured the USS Yorktown detailing a search for the Fighting Lady’s lost souls. Although the show was inconclusive, the Yorktown has her share of spirits on board. It is speculated among believers that ghosts may come back to visit due to a tragic or untimely death. Others postulate that some may come back due to strong attachment for a place. In this case the Yorktown could have thousands of potential ghosts. There have been many sightings of figures on board the historic vessel, but no one has identified a specific ghost yet, so we can take a look at some of the most likely suspects! Two of the most prominent men in the Yorktown’s past loom large over her today; Elisha Terrill “Smokey” Stover and Joseph James “Jocko” Clark. Smokey Stover and Jocko Clark were huge figures on board the Yorktown during her WWII days, and both would be major candidates to haunt the ship today.

Smokey Stover was one of the most popular pilots to serve on board the carrier. He was a veteran of Guadalcanal and had even taken down a Japanese float plane by intentionally colliding with it! Originally assigned as a liaison for the pilots on board to the ship’s radar office, Stover was eventually reassigned to a flying billet in 1943. The evening before the strike on Truk Island, which would be Smokey’s last flight, Stover’s roommate walked in to find him lacing a brand new pair of boots. When asked why he would wear new boots knowing they would get ruined in the plane, Stover’s response was prophetic and eerie; he stated, “When I get shot down, the Japanese aren’t going to give me any shoes.” Later that evening, another of Stover’s friends stopped by and saw him waterproofing his pistol and Stover told him the Japanese “Will never take me alive.” He even sent his entire poker

cont. from p.54winnings home to his parents, the idea of being shot down having become an obsession. No one thought that Smokey would end up being right about his premonitions.

The next day during the raid, Stover’s plane was shot down. It is believed that he was one of seven US aircrew captured and beheaded on Truk by Japanese forces. Stover was an immensely popular personality on the vessel and the ship’s theater bears his name today. Could Smokey still be on board? It is commonly proposed that if anyone haunted the ship it would be him, and many of the figures seen on board have been reported around Smokey’s stateroom and areas he would inhabit.

The next big figure in the Yorktown’s past was her first Captain. Jocko Clark was as rough and tough as sailors come. Clark was a hard driving Captain who pushed his crew to do their very best on every drill. But the crew learned that Clark was training them so rigorously because their lives depended on it. They also knew Clark was the man for the job of leading the Yorktown into and out of harm’s way and trusted him to get them to safety. The ship’s crew began to love their Captain, and the feeling was mutual. Captain Clark was incredibly proud of the Yorktown and her crew. When promoted to Admiral, Clark annoyed the crew of his flagship Hornet (Interestingly, the Hornet is also preserved as a museum in Alameda, California, and is also widely known for its ghosts) by comparing them to the Yorktown’s crew. In retaliation they refused to say the word Yorktown in his presence, instead referring to her as the “Nameless.” Clark also took as many of the Yorktown’s crew as he could for his personal staff as an Admiral. His attachment to the Yorktown ran as deep as anyone on board, and he always remembered her with a distinct fondness. Could Captain Clark still be watching over the Yorktown? Many think he is, and many sightings involve the Captain’s cabin and bridge area today.

But probably the saddest possibility lies with the Yorktown’s only wound in WWII. In April of 1945 the Yorktown was hit by enemy fire for the first and only time in nearly three years of combat. A bomb struck the ship just behind the island structure on the flight deck and passed down several decks before ricocheting outside the ship and exploding in the water alongside. The Yorktown was lucky, but five men lost their lives in the strike on the gun tub just beside the hanger deck when the bomb passed through their area. Could they be the source of some of the Yorktown’s ghostly noises at night? Almost certainly they are.

The ship’s war record was impeccable and her men the definition of heroic. Some of these heroes could still be aboard watching a new generation learn about the Yorktown’s part in WWII and later the Vietnam War and the Space Program. The Yorktown is a must visit when in Charleston, and if you’re lucky you may get to meet some of her heroic crew as well.

The USS Yorktown, USS Laffey, and USS Clamagore all reside at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant, SC, just across the Cooper River from downtown Charleston. The Museum is open daily from 9-6 and admission is $18 for adults, $15 for seniors and $11 for children. Active duty US military is free.
