A model of the boundless energy and optimism of the era, Gastonia served as a perfect example of a New South town. Representing both the New South's opportunities and challenges, Gastonia and other Gaston County towns created community amidst the whirlwind of history. With period photographs and lively writing, Sarah Park Rankin brings these early decades of the early twentieth century to life in a revealing portrait of bustling communities bursting with possibility."--Dust jacket flap |
