Infos

A concise illustrated history of North Carolina, from its dubious beginnings as a pirate-filled colony to a popular tourist destination. Author and illustrator Ben Fortson presents North Carolina's history in the form of off-the-wall anecdotes, poignant insights and sublimely silly illustrations. Take a hilarious look at Daniel Boone's larger-than-life Carolina personality. Peruse an uproarious account of the Andrew Jackson birthplace controversy or politically astute commentary on the power of tobacco in the state. Fortson takes readers on a side-splitting and educational ride through the annals of Tar Heel State history. "e;This will be the most fun North Carolina history book you will ever read, and it will have many students across the state wishing it were part of the curriculum. . . . Ben Fortson travels from the state's piratical beginnings to its growth as the "e;The New "e;Old North State"e;"e; via 2015. Told and illustrated in a series of humorous and entertaining vignettes, Fortson shows a flair for the funny and education."e; Mountain Times
