Anthony Wappel

"As a local historian, his contribution and legacy is of great importance a I remind him often that 100 years from now, his books will be used like we today use W.S. Campbell's 1928 One Hundred Years of Fayetteville and Kent Brown's 1982 Fayetteville: A Pictorial History." - J.B. Hogan "Tony is one of the most important figures we've ever had when it comes to the knowledge and preservation of our local history," says author J.B. Hogan of his friend and collaborator, Tony Wappel.
