Abstract:
Hunters who have stalked bear, boars and deer feel that hunting a wild turkey with a bow is one of the most challenging hunts. Gaddis discusses what a hunter must consider to have a successful turkey hunt: preparation, set-up, shooting strategy, the shot, and the right gear, including bows, decoys, camouflage, seats and calls.

Abstract:
H. H. and C. S. Brimley, immigrant English boys, came to Raleigh in 1880. Herbert became an outstanding taxidermist and worked for the Museum of Natural Science for sixty years, fifty-one as curator and director. Clement was an entomologist for the Agriculture Department and published the first catalog of insects in the South, The List of Insects of North Carolina. The Brimleys were the state's most influential naturalists, whose work left a lasting mark on the state. They are remembered in an exhibit at the new North Carolina Museum of Natural Science in Raleigh.

Abstract:
Flora Watkins, wife of Squire J. C. Watkins, grew up in Cashiers, North Carolina, accustomed to aristocracy. Her husband built her a house in Dillsboro and died soon thereafter. The squire left his widow a large mortgage payment that she could not afford, so the sheriff came to sell the house at auction. Flora stayed up all night with her oldest son and wrote 150 letters to members of the Masonic Lodge. Soon enough money had been raised to convince the bank to let her keep the house. Then she opened the house to boarders at eight dollars a month for both room and board. The house remained in the family until 1983, when it was sold to become the Squire Watkins Inn, Bed, and Breakfast.
