August's Treasure

Carroll C Jones was born and raised in the western North Carolina mountains and is directly descended from pioneering families of Haywood County. He presently lives in Morristown, Tennessee with his wife Maria, but they manage to retreat to the Carolina highlands on a regular basis. Thomson's Pulp Mill-his seventh book-is a historical non-fiction work that has provided Carroll with an opportunity to research and write a story about the original construction of the Champion Fibre Company pulp mill in Canton, North Carolina. His great-grandfather helped build the mill, his parents worked there, and it provided the foundation for his own professional career. .
