     "The Railroads of Johnson City" is the latest work by acclaimed ET&WNC historian Johnny Graybeal. This book is the perfect companion to the "Along the ET&WNC" series and it meticulously details the community of Johnson's Depot, Tennessee and its rise as a railroad center, calling the East Tennessee & Virginia, the ET&WNC, and the Clinchfield railroads as its own.

     "Desperate Measures" is the new release from Tarheel Press that details the activities of the James Gang in North Carolina before the band achieved notoriety as the most feared outlaw band in the nation.

                                Our Mandate
     Tarheel Press is a regional publisher dedicated to the preservation of  southeastern historical niches. We are interested in corporate histories, human interest stories, genealogies, and how these events affected the life in local communities and the state.
     We are passionate about history  and the ability to make it available to every man, woman, and child possible. We believe that the more hands it is in, the longer that history will remain  alive.
     We invite all potential authors, librarians, historians, or readers to call with any questions or comments whatsoever, and we invite manuscript submissions.
