Light fracture/ by Bouknight, Deena C.,1964-(CARDINAL)271389;
Agnes' plummet inside the Morris Island lighthouse became the stuff of local lore and ghost stories. But was her actual death driven my mental illness? Or did the lighthouse keeper play a part? The teacher? The well-researched historical literary fiction illumines struggles meant to stay shrouded in a time when patience was a virtue, a lighthouse saved lives, and an earthquake was the furthest notion in the minds of those living in the lowcountry.

Upheaval in Charleston : earthquake and murder on the eve of Jim Crow / by Williams, Susan Millar.(CARDINAL)313399; Hoffius, Stephen G.(CARDINAL)269735;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface : living with disaster -- The great shock -- Seeds of destruction -- "The earthquake is upon us!" -- A world turned upside down -- The earthquake hunters -- Aftershocks -- An angry God -- Labor Day -- "Bury the dead and feed the living" -- The comforts of science -- Relief -- Waiting for the apocalypse -- Rising from the ruins -- The old joy of combat -- Wrapped in the stars and stripes -- Fault lines -- Standing over a volcano -- Killing Captain Dawson -- The trial -- Epilogue : rebuilding the walls.On August 31, 1886, a massive earthquake centered near Charleston, South Carolina, sent shock waves as far north as Maine, down into Florida, and west to the Mississippi River. When the dust settled, residents of the old port city were devastated by the death and destruction. Upheaval in Charleston is a gripping account of natural disaster and turbulent social change in a city known as the cradle of secession. Weaving together the emotionally charged stories of Confederate veterans and former slaves, Susan Millar Williams and Stephen G. Hoffius portray a South where whites and blacks struggled to determine how they would coexist a generation after the end of the Civil War. --from publisher description
