While I wasn’t willing to disobey the photography rules of the Aiken-Rhett house in Charleston, S.C., other photographers have – or were granted permission by the Historic Charleston Foundation.
If you want to see the pieces of furniture for the slave quarters that I referenced in my blog entry, you can check out these sites:
This Flickr.com set has 80 photos of the house, including pictures of the slave quarters and their furnishings.
Photographer Julia Cart has this photo from the slave quarters.
This blogger has photos of the slave kitchen and his young girlfriend/wife.
The photo at the top of the entry is by me and is of the gate to the slaves’ work yard.

I was in Charleston this winter but never made the decision to take a tour of the town. Now I regret it more than ever.
Hi Christopher,
Yeah, god forbid you should disobey the rules of the slave masters! But thanks anyway for risking your skin. And as always don’t forget to follow the drinkin’ gourd!
Have a nice day.
