Description

A longtime columnist for the Raleigh News and Observer, Cornelia Battle Lewis earned a national reputation in the 1920s and 1930s. In his retelling of her life, Leidholdt chronicles the history of North Carolina from the 1920s to the 1950s, as industrialization and racial integration began to tear at the region's conservative fabric.
