Winston-Salem: A Twin City History | Michael L. Bricker
1 post
Not just home to Old Salem and tobacco tycoons, Winston-Salem has more stories to tell. Author Michael Bricker chronicles the history of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in this interesting and accessible account that spans from the development of Moravian Salem and industrial Winston to the modern day. Conventional versions of Winston-Salem's past tend to focus on the city's famed public figures and wealthy businessmen, but this book also uncovers stories of the workers who built the tobacco and textile industries that have made this city what it is today. With an informative and entertaining approach, Bricker also discusses the effects of the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, Prohibition, the Great Depression and the cold war upon the Twin City. This history is a must-read for all those fortunate enough to call Winston-Salem "home."

Any NC Littens attending the Bookmarks 15th Annual Festival of Books and Authors? I'm planning on attending Saturday, September 7th and would love to meet up. Here's the webpage to see the Festival information: https://www.bookmarksnc.org/festival19

DGRachel UGH! I always forget about this festival. I'll have to see if I can make arrangements to go because OMG! IS V.E. SCHWAB REALLY GOING TO BE THERE?????? And Margaret George? 😭 😭 (edited) 5y
Graciouswarriorprincess @DGRachel: V.E. Schwab is also going to be at the Chapel Hill Library in September. I will probably see her there as my schedule for the book festival is so full already. You need to attend; it's so much fun!!! 5y

TheSpineView I wish... but it conflicts with other plans.😫 5y
Graciouswarriorprincess @TheSpineView Have fun with your other plans. You will be missed. 5y
DGRachel So, I just talked to @dsfisher and I think we are going to see if we can board the dogs that weekend so we don‘t have to stress about them being home alone or making it back in time to pick them up from daycare. Now, I just have to decide who I want to meet more: VE Schwab or Margaret George. 😱😱 5y
Graciouswarriorprincess @DGRachel Hurray!! Email me and I can‘t waist to see you!!!! 5y
Graciouswarriorprincess @Lcsmcat Are you going this year? 5y
Lcsmcat @Graciouswarriorprincess I am, but my sister and I are taking our 84 year old mother this year, so we won‘t be running around as much this year. 5y
Graciouswarriorprincess @Lcsmcat I hope to see you there! 5y
TheShaggyShepherd I didn't know that was a thing! It's about 2 hours from me so that's not so bad. 5y
Graciouswarriorprincess @IvoryLunatic Please attend! It‘s so much fun!! 5y
TheShaggyShepherd @Graciouswarriorprincess Saturday sounds like a lot of fun but I'm working second shift that week so I'll barely be getting sleep every night (can't sleep during the day) so I don't even know if I could stay awake enough to learn something Saturday. Though there are several talks about gun violence, immigration, and diversity that I would love to listen to (I hate that the gun violence and immigration talk overlap though).

Graciouswarriorprincess @IvoryLunatic I understand. You will be missed. 5y
