Bøker av Henry M. Wagstaff

A gifted teller of tales sketches a lively picture of his boyhood in the old tobacco section of Person County, North Carolina, just south of the Virginia line. All the white grown-ups of the boy's childhood were former slaveholders and former soldiers who had come through the Civil War and had met the need for readjustment.

Wagstaff's personal acquaintance with many of the university men whom he describes, his profound understanding of the forces that shaped the institution's history, and his keen wit and lively imagination make this a valuable record.
