Memorabilia And Anecdotal Reminiscences Of Columbia, S. C.: And Incidents Connected Therewith by Julian A. Selby is a collection of personal recollections, anecdotes, and reminiscences centered on Columbia, South Carolina. The volume opens with a prologue explaining how Selby gathered memories from elder residents, often listening to conversations and stories from the past, and aims to present a readable, anecdotal mosaic rather than a strict chronology. The text surveys broad strata of local life: theatres and performances, prominent citizens, professional life, social manners, civic affairs, and episodes from Columbia’s history, including chapters on the old Columbia Theatre, South Carolina College affairs, and grave matters. Throughout, the author interweaves humor, nostalgia, and occasional moral commentary, creating a vivid portrait of a Southern town’s evolution through the voices of its people. The book functions as a social and local history told in lively, anecdotal prose, capturing the character of Columbia and its inhabitants over generations.
