Wry true-life anecdotes peppered with a dash of folklore and seasoned with snappy prose make Uwharri

Award-winning former Feature Editor for the "Stanly News and Press" and longtime Uwharries resident Fred T. Morgan presents Uwharrie Bizarres: Colorful Characters From America's Oldest Mountains, an eclectic collection of true stories of residents of the Uwharrie mountain range. A handful of black-and-white photographs illustrate tales of a farmer who created an elegant shoo-fly device, a man who carves images of rainbows into slate tombstones, a man subject to nervous tics who followed his dream of becoming a preacher, and many more. Wry true-life anecdotes peppered with a dash of folklore and seasoned with snappy prose make Uwharrie Bizarres a joy to read.
