This memoir is an intimate and sometimes irreverent account of one man's coming of age during World War II. Born a North Carolina farmboy, Jones served as a U.S. Navy sonarman aboard a wooden submarine chaser operating from Africa and Sicily during the Allied invasions at Anzio and Southern France. He also served as sonarman and yeoman on two fleet mine sweepers in the Okinawa, Formosa and China operations. This memoir is drawn not only from memory, but from the author's surviving diaries from the conflicts, daily logs of the three ships upon which he served, and the secret reports of military commanders and other official records.

"Miss Smith, the wealthy old lady who died recently near Chapel Hill, and who bequeathed a large sum of money to the State University, did not fail to remember her old slaves, of whom six are now living," read the New York Times, December 6, 1885. But the Times got it wrong: land, not money, was left to the University of North Carolina and five of Mary Ruffin Smith's former slaves. Four were also her nieces sired by her two bachelor brothers and all had the same mother, the Smiths' maid Harriet. A spinster, Mary raised the girls, baptized them into the Episcopal Church, married them to respectable biracial men and left each 100 acres in her will. The result of eight years of research, this book tells the story of the Smith family and the fortune that survived the profligacy of Mary's father before being willed to the university and the North Carolina Episcopal diocese. Every "legitimate" member of the family lies in a small cemetery near the former estate. Harriet was buried an unmarked grave somewhere in Orange County. The hundreds of descendants of her daughters have been virtually ignored--this book is for them.

Written by lauded North Carolina historian Dr. H.G. Jones in his long-standing In Light of History series for the Associated Press, the tales in Scoundrels, Rogues and Heroes of the Old North State span four hundred years of North Carolina history. Across the golden age of pirates, the colonial period and the American Revolution, the Civil War and Reconstruction, Prohibition and every era in between, they include stories of characters from the high seas, the coast, "down east," the mountains, the piedmont, the sand hills—every part of the state. 
 At times informative, at times moving and on occasion side-splittingly hilarious, this collection of stories with amusing pen-and-ink drawings is a must for North Carolinians young and old alike and a thoughtful gift for visitors.
