A man without arms from Chapel Hill who chainsaws trees with his feet; a 101-year-old woman from Southern Pines whose homemade snake oil cures every ailment; a Johnston County tinkerer whose floor-to-ceiling paper chain swallows half his living room; a Sunset Beach mailbox perched in a sand dune; a Hyde County church moved by God; a Chatham County circle created by Satan; and a Jackson County rock carved by a giant. These are stories Scott Mason has reported for WRAL-TV in Raleigh and which are included in The Tarheel Traveler. A blend of oral history and memoir with a good dose of quirky humor, the Tar Heel Traveler is a celebratory look at the people and places of North Carolina. Mason is the TV reporter - the Tar Heel Traveler - who journeys across North Carolina profiling colorful characters and out-of-the-way places.
