In a convenient format, Schumann offers a guide to the campus of the University of North Carolina and immediately adjacent areas in Chapel Hill that will be indispensable for walkers wishing to acquaint themselves with the University and its history. In the revised edition, she has added two hour-long walks to the four presented in the original volume, included several sites that can be conveniently toured by car, and added thirty new buildings (for a total of ninety). She includes new structures in the historic districts of the campus as well as points of interest on South Campus, where the medical complex is located.

Schumann documents the architectural and historical landmarks of the oldest state university in the United States. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs across 85 pages, the guide covers the campus buildings, grounds, and spaces that define UNC's historic character. Published by the University of North Carolina Press, this first edition predates the substantially revised 1985 edition, which is considered a separate title. Schumann was a North Carolina writer and regional historian closely associated with the documentation of the state's architectural and cultural heritage, with additional titles for UNC Press including Tar Heel Sights and Grand Old Ladies: North Carolina Architecture During the Victorian Era. The 1972 first edition circulates primarily through local brick-and-mortar shops in the Chapel Hill-Durham-Greensboro corridor and estate channels, with the 1985 revised edition having effectively displaced it in online supply.
