A proud life-long South Carolinian, Aliene Shields Humphries was born in Spartanburg, South Carolina. After graduating from Columbia College with degrees in special education and public speaking/drama, she worked at the South Carolina Department of Education and taught students with special needs. After retiring from the formal education system, she continued her passion as an educator by promoting lifelong learning.She has a previously published book based on letters written by her great-grandfather, Private Thomas Marion Shields (I861-I865). She gives presentations in period attire, speaking on the importance of learning more about our family history so we may connect with our ancestors and pass that knowledge on to future generations. She has been selected as one of the SC Humanities speakers for her presentation, again in period attire on the history of the American Revolution from 1775-I783. Her 5th great-grandfather, Lieutenant Daniel Gilbert, is the one who sparked her interest in this time period. Aliene believes the Revolutionary War sites presented in this book deserve to be visited, promoted, preserved. and interpreted for everyone to appreciate. She wrote it hoping to bring more awareness of the important role South Carolina played in helping the 13 colonies become the United States of America, independent of England.
