Charleston’s ties to 'one of the most sensational and horrific piracy cases' in history

The Halloween season should not pass without recounting the story of Jacque Alexander Tardy, perpetrator of what some historians call “one of the most sensational and horrific piracy cases in American maritime history.” Tardy was born in 1767, either in France or on San Domingue (modern Haiti). In either case, his family fled Haiti for Philadelphia during the Slave Rebellion of 1791. There, Tardy opened a dry goods store. When that failed, he started a tinsmithing business, making and repairing items made of tin and other light metals. An 1806 Charleston newspaper announced that Tardy had open...

Alfred O. Halsey mapped the evolution of Charleston. Can his work guide the city’s future?

CHARLESTON — What do you call a habit that you knowis bad for you, but you just can't stop?

Halsey, who has made a 10-year study of the development of the city, has compared a series of maps dating from 1680 with the city today to show a ‘noticeable’ settlement of the filled areas," noted the second paragraph of the story.
