Description
notes from the donor: Dale, Our grandmother, Margaret Davis Winslow wrote and privately published a book in 1958, at a time when she had been living in Tarboro for 50 years. The book though (entitled A Gift from Grandmother") is an account of her childhood at Guilford College (then a town) where her father and mother and aunts and uncle and grandfather were professors, etc, including two presidents of the College. It gives accounts of people, places, issues and local issues and local color of all sorts, centered on Guilford College, Guilford County, and Greensboro. There's at least one reference in it to Tarboro. Jimmy & Bill & I have copies of the book. (I am running out of mine, having made gifts to recent presidents of Guilford and to a newly recruited trustee and friend (Dean Emerita at UNC Law) whom I know will particularly value having a copy.) Several hundred copies were printed. They have become moderately sought-after and when they come up on the Internet, they fetch a pretty penny. I am thinking -- having just given that last one away -- that I would like to see it -- it's actually very good -- published on the Internet in the way that I know ECU has published Bishop Cheshire's Nonnulla and I believe UNC has published the Kemp Battle Memories of an Old-Time Tarheel. This one is fully the equal of those.
