Abstract:
A study in contrasts was the two bikes, the first given at age ten, the other purchased recently. One was light as a feather, the other seemingly weighed half a ton. One was easy to navigate up hills, the other hard to get up the front steps. With the benefits the more recent of the two offered, trips through towns like Edenton or Beaufort seemed less like exercise and more like joy rides.

The craft was wood carving, the objects fashioned duck decoys. For John Sawyer, what started as a hobby grew into what the author called a second occupation.

The author’s visit to this county, founded in 1803 and from parts of Bladen and Brunswick counties, revealed its value. Value was defined earlier by its lumber companies and railroads, later by bright leaf tobacco and strawberries. How it maintained value, despite the post WWII mass migration of its youth? That was through factors it had in common with its neighboring counties. There were still beaches and fishing grounds. There was still a community of citizens and civic organizations willing to welcome newcomers.
