Charles Seton Henry Hardee (August 9, 1830 – August 22, 1927) was an American historian based in Savannah, Georgia. His memoirs, Reminiscences of Charles Seton Henry Hardee and Charles Seton Henry Hardee's Recollections of Old Savannah, published by his granddaughter after his death, were written when he was over the age of ninety[1] and became noted works on the history of the city's early years.[2] His manuscript was accurate due to his verification of any subject he did not feel completely sure about. He died at his desk in 1927 during the writing of the second volume.
