Echoes of Happy Valley: Letters & Diaries, Civil War History (1962) Thomas Hickerson Caldwell County NC Very Good

Thomas Hickerson, 1962. Cloth bound hardcover of Echoes of Happy Valley: Letters and Diaries; Family Life in the South; Civil War History by Thomas Felix Henderson.

The second volume by Keenan Professor Emeritus at UNC Thomas Hickerson compiling letters, diaries, personal papers, genealogical tables and pictures originating from North Carolina's "Happy Valley" -- the Upper Yadkin Valley in Caldwell County (previously Wilkes County) -- spanning the years 1766-1961. The primary focus of the book is during the Civil War and Reconstruction period.

"Like the first volume, the primary aim is a 'vivid impression' of the times, and, incidentally some noteworthy examples of literary excellence not found in most of the present-day letters."

Very Good. Slight lean to the binding. Covers excellent and interior pages clean and crisp. No dust jacket. Nice book in lovely condition.
