The little book recounts the remarkable, although little-known, history of Charleston, South Carolina. It was written especially for those persons who want to learn that history in one or two easy sittings. From her earliest beginnings, Charleston has experienced the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. She has known extreme shame and extreme glory. She has been one of the world’s most hated cities and one of its most beloved. She has been attacked by the militaries of four nations, including the United States, which put her under the longest siege in modern military history.

Anthony Sherley (1565-1633) was one of three brothers from a Sussex gentry family, whose adventures abroad fascinated their contemporaries. Their doings were celebrated and exaggerated in printed pamphlets and a play on the London stage, but are scarcely known today. Anthony was a soldier fighting in France and the Netherlands, and then an unsuccessful privateer, before his patron, the earl of Essex, chose him to lead a group on a mission to Ferrara, which proved abortive. Sherley then undertook on his own initiative to take his followers on a highly risky journey across Turkey to Persia. He hoped to persuade the Shah to ally with the West against their mutual enemy, Ottoman Turkey. Surprisingly, Shah Abbas the Great (1587-1629) approved the plan, and sent Sherley back to Europe as his ambassador.
