Remembering Charles Kuralt

the long version

"Based on nearly 100 interviews with Charles Kuralt, his friends, family, and colleagues, Remembering Charles Kuralt is the tale of a North Carolina farm boy who went on to become one of America's most admired television journalists.". "As a child, he was already mature and focused, full of ambition. He would grow into an unusually articulate college student, known equally for his intelligence and his fun-loving nature. On his first job, at the Charlotte News, co-workers marveled at his "People" columns, a forerunner of his CBS series, On the Road. At CBS, colleagues still hold in awe Kuralt's understanding of the relationship between words and pictures. This was their Charles Kuralt. These are their memories.". "Remembering Charles Kuralt provides an off-screen look at the CBS newsman whose folksy reports from the back roads of America endeared him to millions."--BOOK JACKET.
