Fowler, Malcolm

Abstract:

In Part 2 of his series on iron mining in the upper Cape Fear, Fowler writes about the blast furnace at Endor, near Sanford. It is difficult to identify the builders at this date. As to when, most feel it was before the Civil War. The stone Endor furnace was thirty-two feet square at the base and rose to a height of forty-five feet.
