Abstract:
Mays recounts the wartime exploits of Melinda Pritchard Blalock, who was one of a number of women soldiers during the Civil War. She went to war as her husband's brother. Although they were both Unionists, they decided it was easier to join the Confederate forces in Eastern North Carolina, and then cross to the Union lines later. Both served in Company F, 26th Regiment, North Carolina Troops. Mays reveals how they escaped, where they served with the Union forces, and where they lived on their return to North Carolina.

Samuelson recounts the exploits of Colonel Robert K. Morgan of Asheville, who was pilot of the Memphis Belle, the first B-17 heavy bomber to complete 25 missions over Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. At that time in 1943, squadron crew losses were as high as 80 percent, and those who completed 25 missions were sent home. Morgan later flew B-29s and completed 26 missions over Japan. Today, the Memphis Belle is in the Memphis Museum.
