Summary: As an adolescent, Chris Hartley’s parents took him to American historical sites and encouraged his love for history and reading through books. Chris’ first book came about out of curiosity. He wondered if there was a bigger story behind the historical marker in front of the North Wilkesboro hospital, and it turns out that General James B. Gordon had quite a story indeed. Several years later, he revised and republished another edition of this book under the same name: “Stuart’s Tarheels”.
