Roger, Lou

Rogers recounts the life of Julian Shakespeare Carr, a North Carolina industrialist and philanthropist. The Civil War interrupted his studies at the University of North Carolina, and he served as a private in the 3rd North Carolina Cavalry. He became one of the state's wealthiest persons, having interests in textiles, tobacco, banking, public utilities, and newspapers. He was ever loyal to his fellow-soldiers, and no ex-Confederate ever suffered for the necessities of life if Carr knew of his need.
