Charleston Then and Now is one of the latest revised 'Then and Now' titles in the 3-million selling series from Anova Books.

Founded in 1670 as an English colony, Charleston has a rich and tubulent history. Though the city has endured a succession of fires, hurricanes, and earthquakes and played a key role in the American Revolution and the Civil War, Charlestonians have prevailed through it all.

Revised and re-formatted in 2012, Charleston Then and Now pairs vintage images from its rich past with photos taken today. It shows how much of this deeply fascinating city has survived and a few architectural gems that have been lost to natural disasters and the wrecking ball.

W. Chris Phelps hails from Richmond, Virginia and was educated in Charleston. He has published two works on Charleston during the Civil war: The Bombardment of Charleston 1863-1865 and Charlestonians in War: The Charleston Battalion. Drawing on his background as a historian, Phelps co-founded America by Foot, one of the largest walking tour companies in the United States, which specializes in tours of Charleston and other parts of South Carolina.
