This creative non-fiction book tells the story of the end of the War Between the States as it affected Goldsboro and Wayne County. It describes the Reconstruction period by the use of letters, diaries, and other artifacts along with family stories. The author, Emily Weil, has the diary writers “come to life” as characters in this sweeping tale. Sherman with his large army came to town and changed forever the sleepy hamlet called Goldsboro.
 
Cornwallis’ Campaign - Wilmington to Yorktown - by Emily Weil Cornwallis’ Campaign - Wilmington to Yorktown - by Emily Weil
This second book by Emily Weil has been well reviewed as an “excellent historic accomplishment of wartime impacts on this area.” This creative non-fiction book tells the story of the British General’s march from the port city of Wilmington, N.C., through what would later become Wayne County, finally to his defeat at Yorktown, New York. Well researched and documented, it tells the story of people, places and events along the route and the impact the movement of such a large army and its followers would have on the local communities.
