Books Going to Meet the Man, James Baldwin. I found these stories powerful and each one is different even as always centering on, “the problem.”

The Road to Guilford Courthouse, Buchanon. History. Most of what we remember about the revolutionary war took place North of Virginia, Yorktown being the exception. This book walks you through the war in the Carolinas (remember The Patriot? ). There is a lot of interesting history here. (Remember the Swamp Fox on Disney?).
