27 views of Hillsborough : a Southern town in prose & poetry / introduction by Michael Malone.
Centrally located with easy access to both the Triangle and the Triad in North Carolina, the community of Hillsborough has a lot of history. The downtown historic district boasts more than 100 homes, churches, and buildings from the late 18th and 19th centuries, thus earning it a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The building that now houses the visitor center served as General Joseph E. Johnston's headquarters when he surrendered the largest of the Confederate armies to General William T. Sherman at the end of the Civil War. But something other than history has drawn dozens of writers to make this town their home. In 27 Views of Hillsborough, over two dozen authors who currently live here or who have lived here in the past use fiction, essays, and poetry to tell of the community's past and present. Some of the authors whose work is included are Allan Gurganus, Lee Smith, Michael Malone, Randall Kenan, Jill McCorkle, Craig Nova, Barry Jacobs, Peter Wood, Jerry Eidenier, Nancy Goodwin, Hal Crowther, Jaki Shelton Green, and Jeffrey Beam--Amazon.com.
