Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In 1670, the Carolina Colony crowned Charles' Town the capital city, and since then Charleston has enjoyed a colorful and turbulent history. Trade made this bustling seaport prosperous, and by the mid-eighteenth century, Charleston was the 4th largest city in the American Colonies. Though Charleston endured devastation in the Revolutionary and Civil wars, fires, hurricanes, and even earthquakes, it remains one of the most beautiful cities in the South. In this new Then and Now book, archival photographs are matched with modern images of Charleston. See historical monuments like Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie, elegant St. Michael's Episcopal Church, and genteel colonial mansions as they once were-and as they are today. Though much has changed, Charleston's beauty is eternal.

Rated by buyers -
This coffee table-sized book does a fantastic job of covering some key monuments and attractions in and around Charleston. Photos of historic buildings and locations taken during the mid - late 19th century and early 20th century are juxtaposed with recent photos of the same locations, often from the same perspective to give a true sense of the change. Brief but informative paragraph-length captions describe the content and significance of the photographs. The only drawback is the photos aren't dated, so the true content and age relevance is not completely conveyed. Nonetheless, the stroll through time is thoroughly enjoyable and definitely something to be shared with others.
