About the town that grew from a group of shops and maintenance yards that were the hub of the N.C. Railroad, that later became the major leg of the Burlington-Northern line; and the little 'company shops' town took the name 'Burlington'.
The author describes the influences which alternately shaped Company Shops and shows that it is no small wonder that the town not only survived but actually thrived, with the railroad contributing to the development of churches, schools and civic organizations.
This book is primarily a history of one town, and Stokes gives us a fascinating account of its life.
