Join Doyle Boggs for a talk and signing of his most recent book, "Historic Spartanburg County: 225 Years of History." This book follows the history of the Upstate from before the Revolutionary War to the present day, and includes dozens of photographs in black and white and color. An "essay more about continuity than change," Boggs' book examines Spartanburg as a "community in search of itself."
