Guignard Street, or can just look for the green carriage in line on Market Street. When it is time for the tour to begin, you will be picked up by a clean, sturdy, and comfortable carriage being pulled by beautiful Percheron draft horses.\u00a0 All carriages are covered, so you won&#8217;t have to worry about getting too much sun.<\/span><span class=\"sc-AxirZ ezBYUH\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"sc-AxirZ ezBYUH\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"sc-AxirZ ezBYUH\">Once everyone is on board, the tour will begin in the Historic Charleston City Market and will then cover about 20 to 30 blocks of the residential historic district.

The heroic actions of Robert Smalls, the charge of the 54th Massachusetts on Battery Wagner, the bombardment of the city by Union artillery, the tragic fate of the &#8220;H. L.
