Tucked away from the bustle of nearby Raleigh and Durham, Person
County, North Carolina, is an oasis of easygoing Southern charm.
The photography of John Wesley Merritt, shutterbug and lifelong
Roxboro resident, brilliantly captures the spirit of this idyllic
setting as it was in the 1940s and 1950s.
Producing a vivid portrait of a bygone era, Merritt had the
rare talent of preserving a whole way of life through the details
he recorded on film from streets and shops to fields and farm
stands. Captions and essays by Eddie Talbert reveal what the
photographs do not. Hard times and good times, historic facts and
interesting details are all collected here in a unique edition that
celebrates a cherished era in Person County's history.
