Book Synopsis Wilkes County, North Carolina: A Brief History by : Jennifer L. Pena
Book excerpt: What do NASCAR, Tom Dula and Lowe s Home Improvement have in common? They all came from Wilkes County, North Carolina. The foothills of Wilkes County are a region of unsurpassed beauty and captivating history. Cradled by the Blue Ridge and watered by the Yadkin River, the county has faced the Revolution and Civil War, cheered on moonshiner and revenuer alike and struggled mightily to become the North Carolina jewel it is today. Join local historians Jennifer Pena and Laurie Hayes as they tell the story of a county steeped in tradition and immersed in history."
