[New Book] "Historic Maps of Charlotte" Available Now!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Rezul -- Reedy Press is pleased to announce the release of our newest local interest book, Historic Maps of Charlotte: A History of the Queen City in Rare Maps, by Ashley Mahoney.

Charlotte's rich history dates back to the mid1700s. It was named for Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the German wife of England's King George III. What began as a small courthouse town has grown into one of the largest cities in the United States.

Award-winning journalist Ashley Mahoney invites you on a journey through the city's history in Historic Maps of Charlotte. Some stops along the way no longer exist, like Good Samaritan Hospital, Lakewood Park, and the Charlotte Coliseum where the Charlotte Hornets played. Others have evolved over the years, like the Carolina Theatre, American Legion Memorial Stadium, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Modern maps are readily available today, but historic maps of Charlotte can be hard to come by. Historic Maps of Charlotte combines more than 40 maps, essays, photographs, and illustrations to navigate centuries of history. This treasure trove of Charlotte's past helps everyone from newcomers and visitors to longtime residents and natives feel more connected to the Queen City.
