- Synopsis
- 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.&“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 &“The New &“Old North State&”&” via 2015. Told and illustrated in a series of humorous and entertaining vignettes, Fortson shows a flair for the funny—and education.&” —Mountain Times
