Charleston History in Color: Photographs from the Civil War to Modern Days

Charleston Like It's Never Been Seen Hand-colored, vivid details bring these historic photographs to life like never before. Witness enslaved people harvesting sweet potatoes in rich hues. See the bleak devastation on Meeting Street after the Civil War. Note intense contrast in blues and greys of prisoners captured at the Battle of Bull Run. Explore the Battery as it looked in the 1800s. And dazzle in bright fashions of flappers at the dawn of "the Charleston" dance craze. Author Mark Jones and photographer Lewis Hayes bring a new vision to Holy City history.
