Notes/Thoughts
- I almost didn't get this book because of the price. I had found another American Guide series book in South Carolina earlier in the week that was way overpriced ($100 vs. $10 on Amazon) that I didn't get. After finding that this was priced comparable if not cheaper than Amazon I decided it was worth it, especially since I actually found it in Roanoke and I'm not planning to start buying books for my 1940s collection online anytime soon.
- Interesting localized history, although there is a lot of just listing of names within the narrative as well as the extensive appendixes on Officers of Roanoke County and City and Veterans from the county.
