Charleston - a keepsake

Nearly 100 photographs highlight the history, culture, and sparkle of Charleston, South Carolina, once considered the jewel of England's crown. Tag along on this tour of a town with a storied past, from grand tourist magnets like Middleton Place to the humbling Old Slave Mart Museum. Meander along streets lined with live oak trees. Glimpse lovely gardens behind wrought iron gates. Imagine the smell of blooming jasmine thick in the air and the clip-clop sounds of horse-drawn carriages. For the resident, frequent visitor, or armchair traveler, these photographs capture the soul of an assertive southern belle.
