Abstract:
Wilson Bay is a cove in the Neuse River in Onslow County. Jacksonville residents made it a priority to cleanup the filthy, contaminated 126-acre bay from which most aquatic life had disappeared and which waterfowl had abandoned for better feeding grounds. The cleanup solution, offered by Jay Levine, associate professor of epidemiology and public health at North Carolina State University, was to introduce oysters into the brackish waters. Moore discusses this approach and its results.

Abstract:
The Hill-Jones Octagon House in Cedar Point near Swansboro stands on a 60-acre tract of land. The house was donated to the Masons in 2001 by descendants of the original builders. The 5,000-square-foot house, built in 1856, has eight pie-shaped rooms and four square rooms. The house was headquarters for the Union Army during the Civil War. In 1996, two hurricanes took off the roof and severely damaged the interior. Then woodpeckers invaded. The Masons are currently restoring the house. In time they will build a summer camp on the grounds for the children's home they support in Oxford and later a village for retired Masons.

Abstract:
Wilmington artist Mary Ellen Golden began painting in heavy oils and moved on to acrylics. While she was living in Charleston, SC, the celebrated Charleston watercolorist Virginia Fouche Bolton became her friend and mentor. Since then, Golden has never painted in either oils or acrylics. The soft pastel watercolors she now uses portray the coastal scenes that have surrounded her since childhood.

Abstract:
In November 1775, Lord Dunmore, Virginia's last Royal Governor, planned to invade North Carolina. After capturing Portsmouth and Norfolk, he barricaded Great Bridge on the Carolina side, blocking all shipments to the Norfolk port. A small force of Americans marched on Great Bridge. Seeking reinforcements for the outnumbered American troops, Betsy Dowdy from Currituck Banks rode her horse, Black, Bess fifty miles on the night of December 10, 1775, to alert General William Skinner and his men at Hertford. Skinner's force reached Great Bridge in time to help defeat Dunmore on December 11, 1775, and end the invasion threat. Moore discusses how people from colonial times down to the present have reacted to the ride. Some feel it actually happened; some, that the account does not jibe with the facts; and some, that it was a combination of a little truth and a little myth.

Abstract:
During World War II, the American armed services were mostly segregated. In 1943, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802, which forced the commandant of the Marine Corps to admit African Americans. Almost 20,000 African Americans signed up and went through basic training between 1943 and 1949. Moore recounts some of their experiences in this period of racial segregation.
