Russell's Bookstore Group, informal literary association, met in Charleston during the 1850s at the shop of John Russell. Among the members were Timrod, Simms, Hayne, W.J. Grayson, and S.H. Dickson. An outcome of these informal gatherings was the founding of
Russell's Magazine (1857–60), a monthly magazine edited by Hayne, frankly modeled on the Scottish
Blackwood's, and sectional in point of view.
