What Ms. Hale has to say about South Carolina’s Revolutionary significance:

“I love living in South Carolina. As one of the original 13 colonies of the United States, South Carolina embodies historic charm. When I researched the history behind the name “Frenchman’s Knob” in Kentucky 15 years ago, I never dreamed of the adventure that research would lead me into. In fact, it moved me to South Carolina. Now, the whole state is gearing up to celebrate its revolutionary roots over the next nine years. Wow! Talk about a statewide commitment to education,” said Ms. Hale.

The State of South Carolina anticipates all of its counties participating in this multi-year event and historical celebration. First to do so, the Dorchester Heritage Center has invited Ms. Hale to speak on April 11th, 2024. The speech focuses on the significance of South Carolina during the American Revolution as written in her new historical fiction release based on true events, American Wild.
