Fall Library Friends book and lecture series ponders leadership qualities of Charlestonians, others

Leaders seize the moment, look to the future, and carry their many followers forward. Some of the best leaders in history will be the focus of the Fall 2005 Daniel Library Friends book and lecture series.

The book and lecture series was created in 1996. It is responsible for bringing numerous noted authors and lecturers to the college and tri-county community.

All programs are free and open to the public. Each program begins at 6:30 p.m. in Bond Hall Room 165 unless otherwise noted. Refreshments are served and many events include book-signing opportunities. Here's what is coming up this fall:

Charleston Through the Eyes of Mayor Palmer Gaillard Jr.
When: Tuesday, Sept. 13.
What: Mayor Gaillard (Mayor of Charleston from 1959 to 1975) was a legend to those growing up in Charleston back when the Holy City was “too poor to paint and too proud to whitewash.” He had the vision and the leadership that helped bring about the Renaissance that is Charleston today. His book, “Boards to Boardroom” is filled with wonderful quips and stories. Reception. Book signing.

Constantinople, A City For All Ages with Michael Finefrock
When: Tuesday, Sept. 27.
What: Constantinople is a city of mythic proportions: the stopping place of Alexander the Great, the capital of the Byzantine Emperors, the emirate of the Ottoman Sultans, and today, the home of a contemporary Muslim Democracy. Take a multimedia tour through this splendid city with Finefrock, professor at the College of Charleston. Reception.

A Homegrown Hero: Wade Hampton III with Bob Ackerman
When: Tuesday, Oct. 11.
What: Professor and author, Bob Ackerman will provide an in-depth interpretation of Wade Hampton from his new book, “Wade Hampton, III, A Biography.” Wade Hampton was a South Carolina hero: the ultimate gentleman, Calvary commander, and political leader. Reception. Book signing.

An Eye Witness Account of the Burning of Columbia 1865 with David Aiken
