Abstract:

Pender County is a hybrid, both rural and resort, its vast plain wild and yet well cultivated. Pender, witness to the first battle of the revolution, is hemmed against the water by a slender ridge, near both U.S. 17 and the Atlantic Coast Line rails. Its landscape features bays, botanical gardens with meat-eating plants, and an abundance of blueberries that were first planted by Harrold Huntington of New Jersey.
