This writer has spent many Inter
esting hours in perusing the pages of
Historic Camden. But mere reading
does not give the real drama that
features the history of this little
South Carolina community. It mere
ly whets one’s desire to know more
and to get the real atmosphere from
tbe lips of those who in turn had
heard it from the lips of those- who
lived during those stirring and his
tory. making times.
Camden school children should be
given an opportunity of knowing the
glory that Jies in the history of their
community. Historic Camden should
be made a “must” in history-classes.
Tbe deeds of the sons and daughters
of the Camden of yesteryears should
be an inspiration to the growing youth
of the community. The Camden
•tory,. which aroused the interest and
enthusiasm of a stranger, should be
known word for word by every man,
woman and child of the community.
It Js^a story of indomitable win,
courage and faith. It is a story that
