"Masterfully authored, Meet Me at the Rocket is an enlightening and entertaining exploration into one of the Palmetto State's most enduring and endearing institutions. Facts, fascinating stories and compelling illustrations result in a must-read story that will leave you pining for the annual fall rite of passage for all South Carolinians."—John Sherrer, director of cultural resources, Historic Columbia
