We are thrilled to have local author Ashley Mahoney at Belmont Bookshop to celebrate the release of "Historic Maps of Charlotte". 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. ASHLEY MAHONEY is an award-winning journalist based in Charlotte. Many of the subjects explored in Historic Maps of Charlotte, from Camp North End to Independence Park, have been part of her coverage for Axios Charlotte and The Charlotte Post. These are some of her favorite places to explore with her husband. She is delighted that her first book focuses on the history of the city she has called home for more than a decade. Additional books and backlist titles are available to purchase in-store or on our website. Please note that we cannot guarantee availability of any titles at the event that are not pre-ordered, so we highly recommend placing your orders as soon as possible if you would like extra copies of any books!
