Primrose House, Charleston, SC was built in 1817 in the Regency style. This stuccoed brick home, painted a cheery yellow, has side piazzas and a curved piazza on the front. The prior house on this site was the home of Christopher Gadsden, the great South Carolina patriot leader, later Brigadier General in the Continental Army and Governor of South Carolina. Locally, Gadsden is best known for creating the "Gadsden Flag" -- most people recognize it as the bright yellow flag with the coiled snake and the words "Don't Tread on Me." Primrose House was part of the Ansonborough Rehabilitation Project founded by Historic Charleston Foundation and donated to the Foundation by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Woodward in 1960. In the late 20th century, Primrose House housed an upscale and popular restaurant. In 1992, the new owners of the restaurant were Chef Sergio Franco and his wife Rosemary, a pastry chef. The couple lived in a carriage house nearby on Anson Street, where Rosemary was brutally murdered in 1994. Sergio was arrested, but there was not enough evidence to hold him. He left the area after he was released. Rosemary's murder has never been solved. The restaurant closed, and the property reverted back to a residence. [Charleston.com]

July 14, 2019

As the flag says, ‘Don’t tread on me.’ If you try to attack me, I will strike, just like a rattlesnake.

This famous saying is somewhat controversial, based on who you ask because it has been connected to racists and reactionaries. However, the slogan dates back at least 245 years.

Extra Points: Don't Tread on Me

Extra Points: Don’t Tread on Me

This past weekend, I watched an impressive presentation on the history of American flags at my Sons of the American Revolution chapter meeting. The speaker used historical perspective, context, humor and the actual replica flags to illustrate how and why we ended up with the current iteration of the stars and stripes.

One of my favorite flags visually is the Don’t Tread on Me flag, most commonly…
