Tar Heel Laughter
by By Walser, Richard (EDT)
Category: Humor , General

One of the few books concerned solely with the humor of a single state, this volume includes samples of what North Carolinians have laughed at -- and with -- from 1709 to the present.  It is a rich anthology of Tar Heel anecdotes, homespun quips, hilarious stories, folklore, exaggerations, and observations.  In this wide range of humor, Walser has provided a valuable recording of American folklore and the social history of North Carolina.
