South Carolina (updated 11/15/18)

Charleston:

Charleston Naval Shipyard

Circa 1919.

Charleston was a big active base until it appeared on the 1993 base closure list. It's absence has really wreaked havoc on the local economy of North Charleston. I have never seen two adjacent cities with such a huge wealth gap between them! Charleston is really ritzy and upscale, while North Charleston has a lot of closed up businesses with bars on their windows, and feels like a zombie town.

Columbia:

Emerson Field

Emerson Field does not show up on any aviation lists for WWII. It is possible the field could have been renamed or was not reused at all. All that I know is it was located somewhere on or around the massive Camp Jackson. Even old maps of Camp Jackson do not show Emerson Field.

Camp Jackson
(updated 11/15/18)

Camp Jackson was one of 16 National Army cantonments. It is still an active Army base today known as Fort Jackson. A veteran once told me that since boot camp these days at Fort Jackson does not involve combat arms instruction, they call basic training, "Relaxin' at Jackson." There is an on base museum. But civilians are forbidden. Perhaps, I could have obtained some clues for the elusive Emerson Field.

Greenville:

 Camp Sevier

Camp Sevier was one of 16 National Guard tent camps. It was a short lived camp that did not see any WWII reuse. It was a mere 30 miles away from Camp Wadsworth. Perhaps, Upstate South Carolina had a very powerful congressman at the time, who was able to secure funding for not one, but two out of the 16 National Guard camps that would be built.

Spartanburg:

Camp Wadsworth 

Camp Wadsworth was one of 16 National Guard tent camps. It was a mere 30 some miles away from Sevier, was another short lived National Guard camp that did not see any WWII reuse.  Ironically, during WWII, a training base was built in an entirely different location called Camp Croft.
