Talk:Garden City, South Carolina

Untitled

Although not generally known, the mouth of Murrells Inlet on the southern boundary of Garden City was the site of activity during the Civil War. Confederate blockade runners in shallow draft boats slipped through the Union cordon of ships and avoided their shot and shell inside the Inlet where the larger navy ships could not follow. On occasion, the Union shops would try to pursue the blockade runners by discharging landing parties who would beach their boats on Garden City Beach and traveling on foot inland. A Confederate camp named Camp Rutledge was nearby the mouth of the Inlet for a time. A bloody battle took place here between Confederate troops including cavalry and Union sailors or/or marines troops in which the Union suffered heavy losses. At least one Union sailor was buried in a shallow grave on one or the other side of the Inlet.

Adding Attractions Section

I am a long time visitor of Garden City, SC -- I've vacationed there with my family for over 20 years and plan to improve this page within the next week. I will be adding a section about attractions and plan to provide information about the Garden City Pier, the original Sam's Corner, Sara J's, the Yum Yum shop, Conch Cafe and more. I will also work on linking related Wikipedia articles such as Murrell's Inlet, Surfside Beach and Myrtle Beach, edit the section on Hurricane Hazel by adding information on Hurricane Hugo and add a recent picture of the area. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or recommendations for additional content.
