The Coastal Chronicles Volume III - Paperback

by Jack E. Fryar (Author)

North Carolina and the Cape Fear have a vivid history that stretches for more than four centuries. Early explorers, Native America nations, pirates, Redcoats and Patriots, Billy Yanks and Johnny Rebs, U-Boats and Space Shuttle astronauts - the Tar Heel State can claim it all! In the pages of Carolina Chronicles Magazine (formerly Coastal Chronicles Magazine), we tell those stories - true, factually accurate, and written as a storyteller would - to share the fascinating people and events of North Carolina's storied past. IN this volume, you will find stories about: Tar Heel doughboys in World War I; the clash at Fort Dobbs in the French & Indian War; a floating theater that brought Broadway to secluded coastal communities; a firsthand account of the fall of Fort Fisher; what sharecropping was like in Depression-era North Carolina; and much, much more!
