| Publisher Description: In a remarkable feat, Gerald W. Thomas completes his study of Bertie County and the impact upon its people of successive wars with this volume on the northeastern North Carolina county during World War I. Its publication timed to coincide with the war's centennial, this localized study depicts a mostly rural county confronted with a challenge not of its making but one to which citizens responded with resourcefulness and patriotic fervor. |
