Answer 1

Laura, Mount Pleasant has an intriguing history but I couldn't find an answer for you.

But I do have a suggestion.

Below is a link to the city's website.

There is a historical summary and a contact option.

I would try calling Martine Wolfe-Miller, she is the city's Public Information Officer.

If she doesn't know the answer, she should know who will (the area reeks of civil war history - the county will have a Historical Society):

Phone [phone]

Fax [phone]
