Book excerpt: A Story Told--a Heritage Remembered was recorded over sixty years ago and covers three to four months camping at a high elevation in the Balsam Mountains, a remote section of western North Carolina. The primitive camp was established for the purpose of collecting samples of fir and spruce trees in a pristine environment and was funded by the Atomic Energy Commission at Oak Ridge and administered through the University of Tennessee. The camp was situated just below where the final section of the Blue Ridge Parkway was to be built. The story pictures the life and customs of a few scattered Appalachian mountain families tucked away in hidden coves and hollows and describes a way of life that is largely gone forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, western North Carolina has been a haven for summer camps, sustaining one of the highest concentrations of summer camps in America. For generations, the natural beauty, rustic terrain, and cool climates of the southern Appalachian Mountains have attracted campers from around the world. In the last decades of the 19th century, the summer camp movement arose in the Northeast in response to industrial era concerns about the waning of traditional values and new child development theories. By the turn of the 20th century, the first residential summer camps had emerged around the popular resort towns of Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Black Mountain, and Lake Lure, North Carolina. Founded on lakeshores surrounded by woodlands, these camps offered an array of activities, such as archery, canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, and woodcraft, that instilled lifelong lessons in youth and forged lasting friendships. Today, many of the same camp traditions like council rings and campfire stories are still passed along each summer. Readers will recognize familiar cabins and lakefronts with nostalgia in this collection of vintage photographs.

Download or read book Growing Up in Snow Camp, North Carolina written by Debbie Moon and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History in the making in the 1800s and 1900s in a small rural Southeastern community is something that most Americans never get to experience in their lifetime. A lot of readers would enjoy reading about such a magical place in time, especially how life was without public transportation, without public communication, without electricity and without inside running water and bathroom facilities. It provides an eye-opening perspective into today's American luxuries! Nevertheless, love stories of families excelling in such "a time as this" is evident and resilience holds while technology abounds. Snow Camp, North Carolina today is much the same with several churches, one elementary school, one post office, one gas station, one fire station, a couple of restaurants, and a couple of small grocery/variety stores. It does boast of an Outdoor Drama, "The Sword of Peace" that draws many visitors during the Summer. A historical marker located in the heart of Snow Camp states that Lord Cornwallis camped in the area after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse and used the home of a Quaker, Simon Dixon, as his headquarters. This is a documentation of a place in"time" as it slowly, but surely, slips away! Debbie Moon, the author, was granted the privilege of growing up in such an environment at such a time as this! She is a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, church musician, children's choir director, paralegal analyst, breast cancer survivor, and friend to all. Blessings to you as her legacy is shared.

Focusing primarily on the decades of the 1940s, '50s and '60s in the rolling foothills of western North Carolina, encounters with people and places long lost and forgotten are brought to life again. From youth to young adulthood, memories containing danger, humor and a sense of honor are relived in family lifestyles that occurred in a safe and more secure time period, all contributing to Resurrected Memories: The Story of a Lifetime.

Book excerpt: This research examines a sample of North Carolina Confederates as they transitioned from citizen to soldier between 1861 and 1863 during the American Civil War, and it questions how levels of commitment and devotion emerged during this transformation. North Carolina Confederates not only faced physical and emotional challenges as they transitioned from citizen to soldier, but also encountered social obstacles due to the strict social order of the Old South. Orthodoxy maintains this social dissent hindered any form of solidarity among North Carolina Confederates. The question remains, though, why did so many North Carolinians remain committed to the Confederacy until death or surrender? This thesis addresses that question. It acknowledges traditional works on North Carolina's Civil War experience, however it focuses on the war front more closely. By examining soldiers' personal reflections to experiences encountered during their transition more understanding concerning soldiers' shifting perceptions emerge. This thesis encapsulates a soldier's transition through three stages: camp, combat, and campaign. Each stage offers insight into how perceptions toward fellow men, the home front, combat, and camp-life changed over time. Soldiers were exposed to unprecedented levels of fear, sickness, death, and nostalgia that shook their foundations. Levels of commitment were questioned as men encountered each obstacle. The reflections herein indicate men's devotion actually increased by 1863 by engaging the basic duties of soldiering and learning to function together in the midst of combat. Self-awareness for health and survival, hard work, and camp life activities took on new meanings by 1863. Furthermore, this sample offers an example of how the constant interactions of men whether in camp or on the battlefield ultimately strengthened solidarity among troops. This thesis pays particular attention to soldiers' attachments to natural landscapes, and their abilities to materially alter landscapes for the purposes of survival and respite. These North Carolinians reveal how experiences during their transition from citizen to soldier ultimately laid a foundation to remain committed to the war.
