Book Synopsis Hertford County by : Frank Stephenson
Download or read book Hertford County written by Frank Stephenson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in Eastern North Carolina, Hertford County is a picturesque locale with an extensive, storied past. Boasting portions of the Chowan and Meherrin River, the area was easily accessible to European explorers, who visited as early at 1586. Education has been an important shaping factor for Hertford residents, as the county has hosted two colleges-Chowan College, founded in 1848, and Wesleyan Female College, founded in 1853. Fishing and hunting are second to none: Camp P.D. Hunt Club is the oldest chartered hunt club in North Carolina and herring fishing was the way of life for many years. Agriculture, too, has been a mainstay for the county's economy, with peanuts and tobacco thriving as staple crops. The county also possesses a unique blend of cultural history, from the Meherrin Native Americans, who moved here from Virginia, to the strong influence of African Americans, who developed Chowan Beach as one of the premier black vacation spots during Segregation.

Book Synopsis North Carolina’s Free People of Color, 1715–1885 by : Warren Eugene Milteer Jr.
Download or read book North Carolina’s Free People of Color, 1715–1885 written by Warren Eugene Milteer Jr. and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In North Carolina’s Free People of Color, 1715–1885, Warren Eugene Milteer Jr. examines the lives of free persons categorized by their communities as “negroes,” “mulattoes,” “mustees,” “Indians,” “mixed-bloods,” or simply “free people of color.” From the colonial period through Reconstruction, lawmakers passed legislation that curbed the rights and privileges of these non-enslaved residents, from prohibiting their testimony against whites to barring them from the ballot box. While such laws suggest that most white North Carolinians desired to limit the freedoms and civil liberties enjoyed by free people of color, Milteer reveals that the two groups often interacted—praying together, working the same land, and occasionally sharing households and starting families. Some free people of color also rose to prominence in their communities, becoming successful businesspeople and winning the respect of their white neighbors. Milteer’s innovative study moves beyond depictions of the American South as a region controlled by a strict racial hierarchy. He contends that although North Carolinians frequently sorted themselves into races imbued with legal and social entitlements—with whites placing themselves above persons of color—those efforts regularly clashed with their concurrent recognition of class, gender, kinship, and occupational distinctions. Whites often determined the position of free nonwhites by designating them as either valuable or expendable members of society. In early North Carolina, free people of color of certain statuses enjoyed access to institutions unavailable even to some whites. Prior to 1835, for instance, some free men of color possessed the right to vote while the law disenfranchised all women, white and nonwhite included. North Carolina’s Free People of Color, 1715–1885 demonstrates that conceptions of race were complex and fluid, defying easy characterization. Despite the reductive labels often assigned to them by whites, free people of color in the state emerged from an array of backgrounds, lived widely varied lives, and created distinct cultures—all of which, Milteer suggests, allowed them to adjust to and counter ever-evolving forms of racial discrimination.

Book Synopsis The Colonial and State History of Hertford County, North Carolina by : Benjamin Brodie Winborne
Download or read book The Colonial and State History of Hertford County, North Carolina written by Benjamin Brodie Winborne and published by Genealogical Publishing Company. This book was released on 1976 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judge Benjamin Winborne, motivated by the destruction of most of Hertford County's early official records, collected a lifetime of information of his home county and ultimately published it in 1906. The work itself spans a period of fifteen decades, within which compass it makes a survey of the early settlers, soldiers, churchmen, and politicians and examines with considerable circumspection the early courts and government, in short dwelling on all persons, places, and events instrumental to the growth and development of the county. Nor does it neglect Hertford's participation in various wars, for a great number of colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil War officers and soldiers are identified and permanently memorialized.
Book Synopsis Chowan Beach by : E. Frank Stephenson
Download or read book Chowan Beach written by E. Frank Stephenson and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1928, Eli Reid purchased 400 acres of picturesque property on the banks of the Chowan River in Hertford County, North Carolina. Soon after he acquired the land, Reid began turning the area into a Segregation-era resort for African Americans, and Chowan Beach was born. As the resort began to take shape in the late 1920s, it was clear that something special had been started. Wide sandy beaches were built, and construction was immediately started on guest cottages, bathhouses, a dance hall, photo studio, restaurant, picnic area and magnificent German-made carousel. Chowan Beach was an immediate success, and throngs of African Americans began to stream in from across North Carolina and the East Coast to relax and enjoy the atmosphere and spectacular views--an oasis of fun in a social desert of limited opportunities and unfair treatment. The water was cool and refreshing, the crowds were friendly, and the music was hot, as the beach was a popular stop for musicians touring on the Chitlin Circuit, including B.B. King, James Brown, Sam Cooke and The Drifters. In this nostalgic new book, author Frank Stephenson brings back the glory days of Chowan Beach with an array of vintage photographs and a brief history of the area. Come along as Stephenson revisits the past of this beloved beach and offers a reminder of what it meant to generations of African American visitors.
