Fusion of Cultures: The Spirit of Argyllamerica Revealed

Someone has got to warn the world of the changes that are imminent. Maybe, we need a little real life Back to the Future mixed with some West African Sankofa. That is what you get when you read this book - a forward moving creative nonfiction work; part memoir and part narrative that helps us pursue the best in us while looking back in critical reflection. It speaks of the history and growth of the South East, specifically North Carolina. It connects the roots and heritage of the Native American and African culture to the Scottish and "Argyll" travelers that planted roots and left behind the residue of rich and painted past. From the "Tar Heel" origins, tea colored rivers, to the long-leaf pine, and the life and works of Paul Green, Gilchrist paints a vivid history entwining his own life with the lives of many pioneers before.
