Abstract:

William Powell, professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is attempting to change the flag of North Carolina. One of the dates that appears on the flag has been challenged by history scholars, and Powell has suggested using the original colony's flag instead. That flag, which is white and has a red cross of St. George on it, was the one the Lost Colony flew.

Abstract:

In 1947, Walter Cantrell, who had just returned from World War II, purchased an old wooden building in Transylvania County that was once a distillery. Previously, he had worked with the Tryon Toymakers and Woodcrafters since 1927, where he had learned furniture making from a German craftsman. Nearing retirement, he looks back on his career of making antique furniture.
