“Beyond the Grave” FYE Course
Spring 2018
"Old Charlestonian" Research Project Guidelines
Due
April 2: Write and turn
in a typed proposal on the Charlestonian you will research and write
about for your blog and class blog: who is this person, why this person, when
did he/she live and where is he/she buried (needs to be in a Charleston
graveyard or cemetery).
In this proposal you do not have to answer all of these questions yet, but in your research try to find out when did he/she live and die (and how). Include other details you know so far about life, occupation, family, achievements (and failures), legacy and any other interesting facts and tidbits. Describe the gravesite. What is unique, interesting or magnificent or artistic about it? Also, include research sources you have and will use to write a detailed article. Style and length should be similar to the stories I have in “In the Arms of Angels.”

My Family's Cooler Than Your Family
The proof is in the pudding. (And by "pudding," I mean census records.)
