North Carolina�s tobacco history comes alive in this selection of remembrances from Billy Yeargin and others born and bred in the American tobacco culture.

When early settlers struggled to grow anything at all in North Carolina�s sandy soil, tobacco was a boon. The lives of many North Carolinians continue to revolve around the growth cycle of the tobacco plant, from laying-by to cropping and curing. In this collection of nostalgic memories, Yeargin and others reminisce about the frustrations of slugs and tar, the cropping of dew-drenched leaves, the aching beauty of a tobacco bloom and the ultimate connection of man with earth�a connection that is slowly fading with each new generation.
