内容简介

A Lasting Gift of Heritage is as much a volume on North Carolina's social and cultural history as it is an organizational study. David Brook chronicles the first efforts of Tar Heels to save their historic properties from neglect and the bulldozer. Initially spurred by a dream to bring back from the ashes the magnificent colonial capitol, Tryon Palace, the society's mostly female and socially prominent leaders moved on to battle for the preservation of historic buildings throughout the state.
