This is “The Run-Up to the Punch Bowl: A Memoir of the Korean War, 1951,” by John Nolan, a previously-owned hardcover book manufactured by the Xlibris Corporation in 2006. It is in great shape, runs 283 pages, and is autographed inside by Nolan… 1951 was the critical year in the Korean War, when the Chinese and North Korean armies driving south — then a surging Red Tide — were stopped cold. And, after the decisive battles of that spring, the First Marine Division attacked the north from Chunchon to the Hwachon Reservoir, through Yanggu and on to the Punch Bowl. This is the story of that campaign in the words of John Nolan and six other Marines.

Lost Restaurants of Greenville Today, visitors and locals in Greenville enjoy a vibrant, diverse and acclaimed culinary scene. Some will remember recent favorites like the American Grocery Restaurant that helped pioneer the farm-to-table movement. Others will remember longtime favorites like Carpenter Bros. Drug Store, Charlie’s Steak House and Gene’s Restaurant that were around for three or four generations. Few in the second half of the twentieth century would not have dined at one of Vince Perone’s restaurants for some occasion. Author and tour guide John Nolan recalls the fond memories of the owners and their cuisines, with recipes included.
