Inscribed by author to "one of my good friends" on half-title. viii, [2], 328pp.; 9.25 x 6.75 in. *** Good. Spine sunned; some light foxing-like staining to opening pages of text and fore and bottom edges of textblock. *** From chapter one: "Regarding history, I steadfastly believe that it should be constructed as much as possible out of chronicles of everyday life […] [T]his chronicle will begin with a river and will tell of a region, a town, a people, as they appeared to the mind of an eager child. […] Our Yadkin River in North Carolina, makes a slow curve from northwest to southeast, holding the county of Rowan in its embrace. From the southeastern corner, the stream flows on, broadening as it goes, until it enters South Carolina, where the name is changed to the 'Great Pee Dee.'".
