Joe: Fully aware of all the good people at AOH, SCIHS and other Irish-related organizations in Charleston. The article was restricted to the background and people associated with the Festival of Ballycahill. You will find a full account of all the other interests eventually at www.charlestonirish.net Appreciate your interest! Denis Bergin (author)

It is a good article except there is no mention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians which had three divisions in Charleston in the middle and late 1800's. Even today, the AOH has two divisions in the Metro Charleston area one of which sponsors the second largest St Patrick's Day parade in the South.
