Abstract:
European colonists who settled on North Carolina's Coastal Plain quickly learned to use the wild vegetables, berries, fruits, and nuts they found growing there. Nuts provided food for their tables and for their hogs. The tradition of nutting continues to this day. Casada discusses the practice and where to find nuts, including black walnut, hazelnut, butternuts, and beechnuts.

Abstract:
Casada profiles of some noted North Carolina fly fishermen who have helped create, nurture and preserve the fly-fishing traditions of the western section of the state.

Abstract:
The wild turkey has made a remarkable recovery in North Carolina. From a low of 2,000 in 1970, wild turkeys are now found in all one hundred of the state's counties. Many individuals and groups have played a part in this conservation success story. However, one person deserves special credit for the turkey's comeback. That person is Wayne Bailey, who was the North Carolina Wildlife Commission's lead turkey biologist during the critical decade of the 1970s. Bailey is profiled in this Casada article.
