The Resurgence of the Scv-Mosb in North Carolina (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781418423858)

Thrust of this book is to acquaint the reader with the obstacles overcome by a state whose past standing throughout the South and some of the northern sites had deteriorated from having over 40 SCV camps and 4 MOSB chapters to, by 1978, five camps and no active MOSB chapters. Under the leadership of Commander KH Bailey, his top adjutant Ray Hendrix and other carefully chosen staff members and some new camp commanders, the number of SCV Camps increased by 1986 to over 500 members in eleven camps. The MOSB Â chapters increased from 0 to 3. This increase in strength would have meant little in itself but what did these hardworking Tarheels accomplish during these nine years, 1977-1986? They hosted the first National SCV-MOSB Convention in NC in 1979, fifty years since the previous one in Charlotte in 1929! Long overdue was a monument to the Tarheels killed at the Battle of Bentonville in 1865. There were monuments to ALL Confederates killed and another one for the Texas killed. We "resurgents" built such a memorial. Read on for further outstanding contributions by these talented, hard charging Tarheels. Â
