Call Me True
Author: Eleanor Darke
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1459714407
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
In this investigation of the life and varied careers of True Davidson, Eleanor Darke seeks to discover what can be "truly said about True" -- a fascinating and contradictory woman who was always ahead of her time. "There was no quitter in her make-up and she fought like a banshee for whatever she believed in -- which was people, truth, Canada. People either loved her or loathed her. None was indifferent. All her life True Davidson stood for human values. And traditions. Her courage and integrity knew no limit. She didn't make a cent from politics and scrimped and saved to make ends meet. She overflowed with opinions, ideas, even prejudices. She was as straight as they come." - The Toronto Sun "Opponents characterized her sometimes as arrogant and selfish, but she devoted her whole life to her wide interests in history, civic affairs and conservation and to her constituents. She never had an unlisted telephone number." - The Globe and Mail "Flamboyant but never frivolous, cutting but never cruel, True Davidson enlivened municipal politics during her long tenure in office. She bears ... emulating by any woman with political ambitions." - The Toronto Star

Lexington
Author: Bo Bennett
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439617309
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Lexington, North Carolina, heralded as the Barbecue Capital of the World, is located in the heart of the Triad, just 30 miles from High Point, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro. Along with barbecue, the town enjoys a rich history in the furniture business and textile industry. Legend claims that the European families who made Lexington their home in the early 1700s named it after a battle of the American Revolution. On April 19, 1775, the brave soldiers of Lexington, Massachusetts, armed themselves and courageously fought the British, losing seven American lives. News of their courage reached North Carolina, and it was decided to name the town in honor of the place where one of the first known British resistances occurred.
