Abstract:

North Carolina is close to the top of the charts each year in the number of persons bitten by snakes. Copperhead bites are the most common, and fortunately for the person bitten, the least dangerous. Between 1977 and 2005, only two people died from a snake bite in the state.

Wilson, Jim

Abstract:

In the late 19th century, fish were declining in North Carolina's rivers and streams. In attempting to provide food for the people, some of whom were still dealing with the effects of Reconstruction, the state's first fish commission (1877-1885) embarked on a plan of restocking, species introduction, and artificial propagation. Wilson discusses the results of their efforts.
