Wonderful resouce book

We recently moved to North Carolina and have found this book to be a great source of history and sights to see. I would recommend this book to anyone traveling to this wonderful state.

A Super Travel/History Guide

Where was this book when I was studying North Carolina history? I was born in NC, but have learned a lot I didn't know from this book. Turnage has done great research and includes lots of little known trivia that really make the history come alive. Readable, entertaining, and lots of good travel information, too. Outstanding photographs! If you're traveling in NC, this guide is a plus.
