Abstract:

Although the American woodcock is known by at least thirty names, including big-eyed John, bogsucker, and timberdoodle, it remains one of the least known and understood game birds. To a small number of North Carolina hunters, it is one of the most popular game-birds. Amundson discusses the woodcock's history, description, general characteristics, food and breeding habits, management, and natural enemies.

Abstract:

Lake Mattamuskeet in Hyde County is a body of fresh water approximately eighteen miles long and six miles wide. The lake bottom is said to contain seventy-five square miles of the richest soil in the world, rivaling that of the fertile Valley of the Nile. Draining the lake and turning it into farmland has challenged a number of people for over a century. Ward recounts the history of these drainage attempts, which date back to 1789.
