Memoirs of Grassy Creek: Growing Up in the Mountains on the Virginia-North Carolina Line (Contributions to Southern Appalachian Studies, 1)

Memoirs of Grassy Creek: Growing Up in the Mountains on the Virginia-North Carolina Line (Contributions to Southern Appalachian Studies, 1) Review

Born on January 5, 1907, Zetta Hamby spent much of her life in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia, and, during a rich, rural life experienced the advent of the telephone, the automobile, electricity, radio, television and the airplane. Families, homes, schooling, amusements, home remedies, weddings and funerals, politics, health, world war, race relations, the telephone-those are among the topics touched on in this firsthand look at rural Appalachia in the early decades of the present century. Sometimes poignant, often humorous, and surely authentic, these chapters are yet another reminder of recent history that is all too quickly being lost.

North Carolina: Then & Now (Then & Now (Westcliffe))

North Carolina: Then & Now (Then & Now (Westcliffe)) Review

In North Carolina Then & Now, distinguished North Carolina outdoor photographer Kevin Adams takes us on a visual journey through the history and evolution of a changing North Carolina landscape. After looking at some 50,000 photographs of 19th and 20th century North Carolina, Adams set out to retrace the historic photographer's footsteps and document the changing land.

The resulting compilation of 115 pairs of then and now photographs is both a moving eulogy to the past and a thought-provoking forecast for the future. Adams' captions serve as helpful guides through this accessible history lesson, and deepen our perspective into the costs of "progress" and the challenges of historic preservation.

In the mountains of western North Carolina, the Civil War was fought on different terms than those found throughout most of the South. Though relatively minor strategically, incursions by both Confederate and Union troops disrupted life and threatened the social stability of many communities. Even more disruptive were the internal divisions among western Carolinians themselves. Differing ideologies turned into opposing loyalties, and the resulting strife proved as traumatic as anything imposed by outside armies. As the mountains became hiding places for deserters, draft dodgers, fugitive slaves, and escaped prisoners of war, the conflict became a more localized and internalized guerrilla war, less rational and more brutal, mean-spirited, and personal--and ultimately more demoralizing and destructive.

From the valleys of the French Broad and Catawba Rivers to the peaks of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains, the people of western North Carolina responded to the war in dramatically different ways. Men and women, masters and slaves, planters and yeoman, soldiers and civilians, Confederates and Unionists, bushwhackers and home guardsmen, Democrats and Whigs--all their stories are told here.

Early Tourism in Western North Carolina (NC) (Images of America)

Early Tourism in Western North Carolina (NC) (Images of America) Review

At the beginning of the 20th century, many Americans moved from farm to town, changing from agricultural employment to jobs in factories and retail shops. Along with these new occupations came a new idea called vacation. Ready access to automobiles made leisure travel, once reserved for affluent citizens, increasingly feasible and affordable for working class people. With its cool climate and outstanding scenery, the mountain region of North Carolina became a welcome refuge and ideal tourist destination for weary workers and their families. Western North Carolina, often touted in promotional materials as the land of the sky, hosts Mount Mitchell- the highest mountain east of the Mississippi River-hundreds of waterfalls, some of the world's oldest mountains and rivers, and abundant wildlife. The well-known Blue Ridge Parkway, numerous inns, lodges, hotels, campgrounds, and restaurants were constructed to serve the region's growing number of visitors. Early Tourism in Western North Carolina celebrates the rise of tourism from 1900 to 1950 in the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. Sites featured include the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Asheville, Mount Mitchell, Chimney Rock, the Biltmore Estate, and the Cherokee Indian Reservation.

Courtship and Love among the Enslaved in North Carolina

Courtship and Love among the Enslaved in North Carolina Review

Through an examination of various couples who were forced to live in slavery, Rebecca J. Fraser argues that slaves found ways to conduct successful courting relationships. In its focus on the processes of courtship among the enslaved, this study offers further insight into the meanings that structured intimate lives.

Establishing their courtships, often across plantations, the enslaved men and women of antebellum North Carolina worked within and around the slave system to create and maintain meaningful personal relationships that were both of and apart from the world of the plantation. They claimed the right to participate in the social events of courtship and, in the process, challenged and disrupted the southern social order in discreet and covert acts of defiance.

Informed by feminist conceptions of gender, sexuality, power, and resistance, the study argues that the courting relationship afforded the enslaved a significant social space through which they could cultivate alternative identities to those which were imposed upon them in the context of their daily working lives.

Rebecca J. Fraser is lecturer in American studies at the University of East Anglia. Her essays have appeared in Journal of Southern History and Slavery and Abolition.

The Forest City Lynching of 1900: Populism, Racism, and White Supremacy in Rutherford County, North Carolina (Contributions to Southern Appalachian Studies, 10)

The Forest City Lynching of 1900: Populism, Racism, and White Supremacy in Rutherford County, North Carolina (Contributions to Southern Appalachian Studies, 10) Review

Politics in Rutherford County were heated a century ago: the developing textile industry, the growing population, an agricultural crisis and race relations inflamed everyone. Mills Higgins Flack, a leader of the Farmers’ Alliance and the county’s first Populist in the state House, was allegedly murdered on August 28, 1900, by Avery Mills, an African American. This book documents the murder and the lynching of Avery Mills. The author (Flack’s great-great-grandson) considers the phenomena of racial lynching, the Populist movement in the county, the white supremacy movement of the state’s Democratic party and the county’s KKK activities.
