On February 19th at 7pm, A. Gibert Kennedy will be reading from and signing his new book, A South Carolina Upcountry Saga: The Civil War Letters of Barham Bobo Foster and His Family 1860-1863.
Hope, sacrifice, and restoration: throughout the American Civil War and its aftermath, the Foster family endured all of these in no small measure. Drawing from dozens of public and privately owned letters, A. Gibert Kennedy recounts the story of his great-great-grandfather and his family in A South Carolina Upcountry Saga: The Civil War Letters of Barham Bobo Foster and His Family, 1860-1863.
Barham Bobo Foster was a gentleman planter from the Piedmont who signed the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession and served as a lieutenant colonel in the Third South Carolina Volunteers alongside his two sons. Kennedy’s primary sources are letters written by Foster and his sons, but he also references correspondence involving Foster’s daughters and his wife, Mary Ann.
The letters describe experiences on the battlefields of Virginia and South Carolina, vividly detailing camp life, movements, and battles along with stories of bravery, loss, and sacrifice. The Civil War cost Foster his health, all that he owned, and his two sons, though he was able to rebuild with the help of his wife and three daughters. Supplementing the correspondence with maps, illustrations, and genealogical information, Kennedy shows the full arc of the Foster family’s struggle and endurance in the Civil War era.
Gibert Kennedy earned a B.A. in history from East Carolina University and a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee. He retired from a career in the nuclear industry in 2015. Kennedy has a bookselling business in Aiken, S.C. that specializes in South Carolina and Civil War history. He lives in Aiken, S.C. with his wife, Pam and a feral cat.

Our iconic RiverWalk Trail in Chimney Rock Village doesn’t stay this inviting on its own. We have to maintain it regularly with limited financial and human resources.
So, if you love this trail as much as we do, and you can spare an hour or two, grab your gloves, shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows. We’ll meet at the entrance to the RiverWalk Trail in Chimney Rock Village (next to the entrance of Bubba O’Leary’s) this Tuesday, Feb. 26th at 9 am to buff up this beautiful, but fragile recreation spot. We realize short notice, but several things fell together very recently where we’ll be able to use some of the equipment from the Chimney Rock Volunteer Fire Department. So, if you can make it, please consider helping us work on the trail for an hour or two – whatever time you can spare is genuinely appreciated!
