Tucker, Harry Z.

Abstract:

Tucker describes a few of the many historic trees to be found in the state. Many interesting historical and traditional events are connected with them. The old Tory Oak at Wilkesboro is where several Tories are said to have been hanged. The old Dram Tree on the Cape Fear near Wilmington was the signal for taking a last dram before reaching port. The historic Daniel Boone Oak in Davie County is more than 500 years old.
