Burke, James C.

Abstract:

Using archival research, map analysis, and field study, Burke attempts to determine the route used by the stagecoach line of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road, to locate modern roads that closely approximate the state route, and compare the present landscape along the route with descriptions of that provided in historic documents.
