Site of the Surrender of Columbia

Site of the surrender of Columbia South Carolina. It is very…read moreclose to downtown, will not take much time to visit, but is an absolute must. An engraved rock marks the location and serves as a remembrance of the occasion of the surrender of the city of Columbia South Carolina. Columbia, a major city in the confederacy and the birthplace of the secession movement, was a strategic target for general Sherman and the Union forces. The succession convention, was the first, and it was the only convention to unanimously vote to leave the Union. Sherman and his troops' desire to exact revenge on the city was deep, according to historical documents. In advance of the Union forces attacked in the city, the Confederate troops burn down the bridges leading to the city on February 16, 1865, under the direction of General Wade Hampton III. Hampton, The grandson of a Revolutionary War hero, and considered a hero in his own right, evacuated his troops and placed the mayor, TJ Goodwyn in charge. Union forces began to shell the city from across the river. Seeing what happened to other cities, and hoping to spare Columbia, he ordered Mayor Goodwyn to surrender the city on the morning of the 17th just north of the city. Between 8 AM and 9 AM, the city's Aldermen and the Mayor surrendered formally to Sherman's troops. Unfortunately, this did not help as Sherman and his troops proceeded to torch the city at night. At least two thirds of the city burned as troops set fire to homes, businesses, schools, municipal buildings, and churches. In 1914, the United daughters of the Confederacy held a dedication ceremony featuring the sole surviving witness, Norton W. Brooker, and six descendants of the mayor. The engraved rock sits in front of the church on the corner of River Road and Beaufort Street in the historic Earlewood neighborhood.

Thanks so much for this valuable information! I've been trying to find the location of the site of…read moreColumbia's surrender. I grew up there and have lived in Charlotte for the last 19 years, but plan to ride by tomorrow! Is there not a marker for the site of Camp Sorghum? I have the general area mapped out but I guess there are no traces left. Thanks again!

When in Latin America, dance Cumbia If your toilet breaks,…read morejust call the Plumbia And if you like game cocks And shows that rock your socks Then come straight to the City of Columbia! The city named after an entire column of beer, what's not to love. Better than the Maryland version, but not as thrilling as the nation, by any stretch of the Emoji-Nation. Columbia was always pretty amazing for playing music concerts. I'm not sure why, but the city took to me and I took to them - and I love coming back here. I still have some friends in the area from playing music shows here. I'll always include Columbia on my tours because of that. I guess a lot of people skip over it but I never will. It's a big city and it deserves the attention that I gave it and I appreciate it all the attention that they gave me. They're full of college kids now, some of which are good looking, but there is a caveat - which is that it doesn't seem as friendly as it used to. I got a little bit of ridicule here and there in town, and that's okay cuz there are a lot of nice people here as well and that can happen anywhere and it was the middle of the March Madness so maybe that's why - but it definitely seems like it changed and is way more busy and congested that it ever was when I used to come here. It was a sleepy little city and now it's packedlikesardines little city. I guess it was always busy but not like this. I still really love Columbia because of the music days and I always will, but I hope that my next trip will be as wonderful as some of the older trips were. I've had so many wonderful experiences in Columbia South Carolina concerts. I've yet to actually enjoy a really good meal here (other than the tacos I'm about to mention), or find any good Boba or desserts, but on the way out of town or into town you mussssst go to Tacos Nayarit for some of the best Mexican food anywhere - so that's where I suggest you eat. All in all, it's a wonderful town with a lot of friendly people and a huge college presence, cheering for the naughtily named Gamecocks, who always say they're a bigger deal than they turn out to be.

People always refer to Charleston and Greenville when speaking of South Carolina, they both great…read morecities but they are no Columbia. We are not too big and not too small and in my humble opinion a upcoming city that has a lots of opportunity for entrepreneurs and small businesses. The craft beer scene will soon rival other cities in a few years hopefully with several new additions coming soon. If you know where to look there are many resturants and shops off of international Blvd known or called Decker that have flavors and smells that smack you in the face with goodness the moment you walk in the door. If your new to my city ask around and you will find awesome spots for live music and entertainment. Today I will visit a high end bakery then hit are Soda City market for fresh olive oils and honey and probably sample new food trucks and vendors that have delicious food. After that I'm going to eat lunch at War Mouth a new upscale Southren place that features great drinks and curried quail and local fish. Then to Craft and Draft for are Soda City Suds week to raise money for it and a 5.00 bottle share at the hottest spot on Devine street. This is but a few things Columbia has to offer besides our wonderful history and different cultures. I look forward to see everyone's pictures of Columbia and thoughts of my beloved city.

McCrady Army National Guard Training Center - Front or RTI Building

Situated outside of Eastover, SC, the base is a small RTI centered activity. In the RTI building…read morethere is a mix of small barracks rooms and two gender neutral Soldier rooms. (Two Soldier per room, not two of them) The barracks are 8 to a side in bunks, two bays sharing a bathroom, wall locker per and a desk per inmate. The two human rooms have microwave and tv and WiFi. They are said to be nice, and at least for some people come with maid service. The barracks are better than some I have been in, but the mattress remind me unfavorably of the field sleeping pad. And they are new. The pillow is not as nice as the mattress, so bring your own. Same with the sheets. That having been said, they have washers and dryers in every bay, which is civilized. They do have WiFi which is reasonably fast and does not bog down, so someone in the S6 know what they are doing. Complements to you sir or mam. The Two Soldier Rooms have shared laundry facilities down the hall. The DFAC (cleverly named the Crescent Moon Cafe), though sanitary, did not meet my gastronomic standards. The menu was a bit repetitive and tacos were on Wednesday rather than Tuesday. As DFACs go, it wasn't bad, but it did rather play to the reputation that Army food has spent generations earning. They do have Ice cream. The PX is tiny. Like really tiny. They have zero uniform items, so don't plan on getting any. It is also closed Monday and Tuesday, which is barbaric. Post chapel, tiny gym, and a small USO roundups the scenic attractions. If you are here for BLC, know that this is one of the nicest setups going. It is not, however, Club Med.

A solid base for soldiers. The ground was a little flooded by the rain, but it appeared well kept…read moreup.

Such an honor to see the young men become soldiers. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you to all who have served! What a joy to be part of the army family.

I had never thought of writing a review for Fort Jackson but after coming across their Yelp page I…read morefigured why not... I completed basic training here late summer / early fall of 2013. I arrived at the beginning of September and the weather was disgusting. It was hot af and very humid. It started to feel nice towards the end of the month and once graduation came around in November, it was pretty chilly. My experience was startling at first as I had never had a grown man / or woman yell at me, let alone hurt my feelings.... But what did I expect, I signed myself up for this and knew this was not gonna be a walk in the park. I heard it all and not once did I take it personal.. My drill sergeants were tough and so was the physical aspect of it. You have to be both mentally and physically tough for this as this is definitely not a vacation. There were days we were up for 12+ hours and we had to do it all over again the next day... Several people from my platoon quit right at the start and they did not get to go home right away. More then a handful of people quit in my company, both men and women as they could not handle the intense training. Fort Jackson is very old and we encountered a few paranormal activities / sightings while we were out in the field. My company was located in the old trailers at the time so we didn't have it too nice as the other companies did.. Overall if I had to do basic training at Fort Jackson all over again I would. I've been out of the army a few years now but would gladly do it all over again.
