Scoundrels, Rogues and Heroes of the Old North State: Revised

Scoundrels, Rogues and Heroes of the Old North State: Revised and Updated with New Stories and Images (American Chronicles)

Can you call yourself a self-respecting North Carolinian if you donâ€™t know that Babe Ruth hit his first home run in the Tar Heel State? That Annie Oakley gave shooting lessons in Pinehurst? That renowned Siamese twins Chang and Eng lived in Surry County? Or that unrepenting bootleggers hid out in Rutherford County?
Father-daughter team K. Randell and Caitlin D. Jones think not, and to cure your curiosity, to supply you with clever quips at cocktail parties or to convince your teachers that you really have studied, they have gathered a wonderful collection of stories originally written by lauded North Carolina historian Dr. H.G. Jones for his long-standing â€œIn Light of Historyâ€ series.
This revised and updated edition contains ten additional accounts of Tar Heel history, accompanied by archival images from the lifetime collection of Dr. Jones and a map highlighting each storyâ€™s geographic interest area.
