Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bath was the first town to be incorporated in North Carolina (1705-6).This book focuses on the many ways in which Bath played a significant role during North Carolina's formative years. From piracy and conflicts with Native Americans to political and regional factionalism, Bath was at the center of the colony's economic and political life. Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard, may have lived there. The oldest surviving church in North Carolina (1734), St. Thomas Episcopal Church still stands in Bath. As the first port of entry for the colony, Bath traded raw materials such as naval stores, tobacco, and deerskins for finished products from distant shores. This entertaining paperback opens a historic window on both the town of Bath and on North Carolina's distant colonial past.

Download or read book Archaeological Survey of Historic Bath written by Lindsay N. Flood and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic Bath was the first town to be incorporated in North Carolina. Following its incorporation on March 8, 1705, many individuals purchased property in the town, including a number of prominent figures who were influential in North Carolina's early history. Based on historical records, it is thought that much of the ownership in the early days of Bath was speculative, and not all of the property owners in the early eighteenth century resided in the town. The goal of the large-scale archaeological survey presented in this thesis was to determine which lots were occupied in the early eighteenth century. This research employed a `presence/absence' type of analysis, using temporally-diagnostic ceramics as an indicator of early eighteenth-century occupation. The survey revealed evidence for early eighteenth-century activity throughout the town, indicating widespread occupation in the early colonial period of Historic Bath. Results have been separated by their respective lot and their priority for further archeological research. Additional archaeological investigations can provide a more comprehensive picture of everyday life in Historic Bath and the roles of the individual inhabitants within the social structure of the town and the colony as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Voyages to Carolina offers a bold new approach for understanding and telling North Carolina's history. Recognizing the need for such a fresh approach and reflecting a generation of recent scholarship, eighteen distinguished authors have sculpted a broad, inclusive narrative of the state's evolution over more than four centuries. The volume provides new lenses and provocative possibilities for reimagining the state's past. Transcending traditional markers of wars and elections, the contributors map out a new chronology encompassing geological realities; the unappreciated presence of Indians, blacks, and women; religious and cultural influences; and abiding preferences for industrial development within the limits of "progressive" politics. While challenging traditional story lines, the authors frame a candid tale of the state's development. Contributors: Dorothea V. Ames, East Carolina University Karl E.

Download or read book A Delicious Country written by Scott Huler and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1700, a young man named John Lawson left London and landed in Charleston, South Carolina, hoping to make a name for himself. For reasons unknown, he soon undertook a two-month journey through the still-mysterious Carolina backcountry. His travels yielded A New Voyage to Carolina in 1709, one of the most significant early American travel narratives, rich with observations about the region's environment and Indigenous people. Lawson later helped found North Carolina's first two cities, Bath and New Bern; became the colonial surveyor general; contributed specimens to what is now the British Museum; and was killed as the first casualty of the Tuscarora War. Yet despite his great contributions and remarkable history, Lawson is little remembered, even in the Carolinas he documented. In 2014, Scott Huler made a surprising decision: to leave home and family for his own journey by foot and canoe, faithfully retracing Lawson's route through the Carolinas. This is the chronicle of that unlikely voyage, revealing what it's like to rediscover your own home. Combining a traveler's curiosity, a naturalist's keen observation, and a writer's wit, Huler draws our attention to people and places we might pass regularly but never really see. What he finds are surprising parallels between Lawson's time and our own, with the locals and their world poised along a knife-edge of change between a past they can't forget and a future they can't quite envision.

Download or read book Beyond Historic Bath written by Erin McLaughlin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the Handy's Point site in Bath, North Carolina, to assess its chronological position, fill a void in our past knowledge, and concludes it is not the former location of the village of Secotan. Artifacts from previous archaeological investigations, a private collection, and a small survey done for this study are used to interpret and examine how the site was used in the past and by whom. These artifacts show that this was not the former site of the Native village of Secotan, but might represent a small transitory settlement or family occupation related to this larger village of Secotan. This information shows that this location had been settled for a long period of time before Bath was founded and continued to be used in one way or another since then.

Download or read book Beaufort County, North Carolina written by Louis Van Camp and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named by the English in honor of Lord Somerset, the Duke of Beaufort, Beaufort County enjoys its greatest natural resource in the picturesque Pamlico River and the numerous creeks that drain into it. The waterways of the county have for some three centuries served as a catalyst for economic opportunity as well as a setting for recreational activities. An engaging pictorial retrospective, Beaufort County, North Carolina will introduce readers to several generations of families who settled along the banks of the Pamlico and inland. Vintage photographs reveal these Beaufort County families proudly pictured in their homes, their schools, their businesses, and their places of worship. Family stories, passed down as treasured heirlooms over the years, shed light upon a way of life that has almost vanished in modern America. Natives will recall the splendor of Beaufort County as an early-twentieth-century tourist destination, when the Duke University Blue Devils Band entertained guests at the dance pavilion of the grand old Bay View Hotel. Numerous images depict sites of the early American Indian villages that thrived before the European settlement of the region, the debris and devastation left after the Hurricane of 1913, the commercial fishing fleets that plied the local waters to offer nourishment and economic gain for local families, and the festivals, fairs, and parades enjoyed by Beaufort County residents of all ages. The towns that make up the county and their unique traits are explored and celebrated, while the role of each in the greater development of the county is encapsulated in a story told through charming historic photographs and postcards.

Download or read book North Carolina Architecture written by Catherine W. Bishir and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This award-winning, lavishly illustrated history displays the wide range of North Carolina's architectural heritage, from colonial times to the beginning of World War II. North Carolina Architecture addresses the state's grand public and private buildings that have become familiar landmarks, but it also focuses on the quieter beauty of more common structures: farmhouses, barns, urban dwellings, log houses, mills, factories, and churches. These buildings, like the people who created them and who have used them, are central to the character of North Carolina. Now in a convenient new format, this portable edition of North Carolina Architecture retains all of the text of the original edition as well as hundreds of halftones by master photographer Tim Buchman. Catherine Bishir's narrative analyzes construction and design techniques and locates the structures in their cultural, political, and historical contexts. This extraordinary history of North Carolina's built world presents a unique and valuable portrait of the state.
