BOONE, N.C. — Dr. Karl E. Campbell, associate professor in the Department of History at Appalachian State University, has received continued support from the Triangle Community Foundation for his current book project — a biography on Luther Hartwell Hodges, who, as Campbell said, “was one of North Carolina’s most important political and economic leaders of the 20th century.”
The foundation awarded Campbell $2,865 in additional funding for the book project, which is titled “Carolina at the Crossroads: Governor Luther H. Hodges and the Transformation of the New South.” Campbell first received grant funding for the project in 2009.
