Summary
"This Southern state trained more troops than any other state in the nation. Can one still find the military posts and shipyards, the cemeteries and memorials, the convalescent units and R & R facilities today? This volume describes in detail both the state's 20-plus military sites and the eight little-known North Carolina Prisoner of War camps"-- Provided by publisher
