BRIAN HICKS - - Charleston Post and Courier
| On the eve of an auction for more than 400 Civil War-era letters and documents, the state of South Carolina has stormed in to stop the bidding -- and has claimed the entire lot.
State Attorney General Henry McMaster on Friday slapped a temporary restraining order on a Columbia auction house and Charleston attorney Kenneth Krawcheck to halt the sale of 444 letters and documents dating back to wartime South Carolina.
