Title: The roots of Penderlea
Description: "The Roots of Penderlea combines documentary history and firsthand accounts of North Carolina's pathbreaking Penderlea Homesteads project. What started as a vision became reality in 1934 when, under President Roosevelt's New Deal, Penderlea became one of the nation's first experimental agricultural colonies. Through perseverance, dedication, and cooperation; the original homesteaders and their families built a close-knit community with farms, business enterprises, churches, a school, and civic organizations, leaving a legacy that spans multiple generations."--Jacket.
