Wheeling

By Paul Rinkes and Sean Patrick Duffy

Book Overview

From a booming crossroads to a quiet town, follow author Se n Duffy and photographer Paul Rinkes as they tour Wheeling, WV through the ages.

The convergence of the Ohio River, the National Road, a remarkable bridge, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad transformed Wheeling into a transportation hub. Fed by an influx of immigrant labor, the city prospered, adding industrial muscle. But global economic changes brought the machine to a sudden halt. In Then & Now: Wheeling author Se n Duffy and photographer Paul Rinkes explore a city still recovering from that trauma, a city with a proud past and an uncertain but hopeful future.
