Abstract:
Dr. D. J. Whitener, a Tar Heel historian and college professor of social studies for over 30 years, believes history can be a powerful instrument in building local and state esprit de corps. Dr. Whitener, dean of Appalachian State Teachers College, believes history deserves presentation with more gusto, pride, and vigor to Tar Heel children and adults. Whitener considers local history so important that he has written a booklet on \"how to find and write history.\"
