Abstract:

Dean recounts the removal of the Cherokee Indians from their homelands in western North Carolina and other states, which took place between October 1838 and March 1839. Many white settlers sought to prevent the removal, but ultimately, the demand for new settlement lands and the discovery of gold on Cherokee land overwhelmed their protests. Thousands of Cherokees died on the winter march to Oklahoma.

Abstract:

Before the bridges spanned the state's rivers and creeks, ferries transported people, animals, and various cargoes across waterways. It is believed the Quakers owned and operated the first ferry in 1700 in the Albemarle Sound area. Early ferries were private enterprises, and it was not until 1741 that the first free ferry was established. Once numerous, only ten ferries are in use today, seven along the coast and three on inland waterways.

Abstract:

Shortia is one of North Carolina's and the world's rarest plants. Few people have ever heard of it; fewer still have seen it. In the state the flower is found only in a few places in Burke, Macon, McDowell, and Transylvania Counties. Dean discusses the plant's history from its discovery by French botanist Andre Michaux on September 8, 1788, its rediscovery in 1877, and its current status.

Abstract:

Dr. Richard Gordon Gatling of Maney's Neck in Hertford County was born September 12, 1818. In 1835, he invented a screw propeller for warships, but another inventor, John Ericsson, beat him to the U.S. Patent Office by a few days. Gatling was world-famous for his agricultural inventions by the middle of the 19th-century. After the outbreak of the Civil War, he began work on a weapon that would bring him lasting fame -- the Gatling Gun.
