From Whalebone to Hot House: A Journey along North Carolina's Longest Highway

U.S. 64, the longest highway in North Carolina, stretches across 600 miles of the state, slicing it diagonally from the dunes of the Outer Banks to the mountains of its southwestern tip. Jerry Bledsoe spent five months on the highway, stopping along the way to see the sitees & meet the people. From his travels came this book, which proves that North Carolina is a varied & remarkable state indeed. In it you will meet a man who makes his living from the sand on which he lives, an elderly couple who started a library, a yard boy who inherited his employer's fortune, a man who sold his hamburger stand -- & his name -- only to see it become a nationwide chain from which he never profited, & a mountain man who helped his blind grandchild to become an international star.Bledsoe, Jerry is the author of 'From Whalebone to Hot House: A Journey along North Carolina's Longest Highway' with ISBN 9780887421068 and ISBN 0887421067.
