Tragic Deaths of Cary, North Carolina Youths

My book includes short biographies of young people who resided in Cary, NC, whose lives were ended prematurely in car wrecks, shootings, drunk driving accidents, and other tragedies. The time span of the book encompasses young men and women who were born between 1930 and 1968. Most of the deaths occurred between 1950 and 1974. More

I have written from ancestry and newspaper sources a brief anthology of mini bios of young people who died in Cary, NC prior to the beginning of its rapid growth in the late 1970s. The e-book is most relevant to understanding the North Carolina town's past and its people. I have written in my Foreword that I am a lifelong resident of Cary, who moved here in 1962, when I was 2 years of age. The town's population was around 3,000 then. I was not acquainted with any of the youths I have written about. I have included some details of the ambitions, career aspirations, and backgrounds of each person I profiled. Readers will be able to easily locate where the individuals lived, worked, attended school, and died. The majority of the youths are buried in Cary and Raleigh, NC. I hope this work will inspire others to write about Cary, while reflecting about its rich heritage.
