Abstract:

Mrs. Mebane Holoman Burgwyn of Woodland wrote a book called \"River Treasure.\" Its intended readership was eight to twelve years old and focused on fictional character 12 year-old Guy Harrison's adventures in the Occoneechee Neck, an impoverished area farmed by African American families. Ralph Ray of Gastonia illustrated the work and despite their collaboration the author and illustrator never met.
