This Week’s Words
Carl White is a TV Personality, Producer and Columnist. This book features a collection of syndicated stories written in his voice about the people and places of the Carolinas. Whether it’s the historic doorknobs of Old Salem and how confusing they can be for some people or a random conversation at a country diner with a Veteran about his service in Vietnam, Carl spends his time doing what he enjoys most, sharing real stories with viewers and readers.
Did you know that Edgefield, SC was the home to ten SC Governors? Or that world-renowned Jazz musician Dizzy Gillespie was from Cheraw, SC? What about those mysterious Brown Mountain Lights in the North Carolina Mountains? They have kept people guessing what they are for hundreds of years. Discover the beauty of the brackish Waccamaw river and learn about the massive live oaks that predate the founding of America. In Gold Hill, NC we make a connection with the past learning about the early days of gold mining in America. In days past, the mayor of Charlotte, NC once said that he hoped that Charlotte would someday be as prosperous as Gold Hill.
