History of Camp McKall

[Snaquebite]

Got this from a friend ...

Recently, I have been thinking about what became of the book that Lowell Stevens (RIP) was writing on Camp Mackall. Originally the USASOC Historian’s was assisting in getting it published but they decided not to mess with it. A man named Tom MacCallum stepped up and actually had it published with Lowell Stevens as co-author. It was initially on sale at the Rankin Museum of American Heritage in Ellerbe, NC but Mr MacCallum soon became overwhelmed by the demand for it. It can now be purchased from the Richmond County Historical Society http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller...=AS5BNP8FYZUVG in Rockingham or from http://www.amazon.com. The title is Camp Mackall, North Carolina: It’s Origin and Times In The Sandhills. The cost from Amazon is $35.00 + 3.00 shipping. It’s a great book to have if you are interested in the history of Camp Mackall. Will probably go “out of print” and be extremely hard to find later on. Also no if you were thinking how much of a cut I was getting, I just think that this is the real birthplace of Special Forces.
