Abstract:

Pulitzer prize-winner Paul Green is best known for his nearly 100 plays for stage and screen, most notably The Lost Colony about the lost English colony on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. While not what he is mostly known for, Green was also a documentarian who collected mounds of data on the life history of the people of the Cape Fear Valley and documented language usage as early as World War I. Green's estate posthumously published Paul Green's Wordbook, a two-volume, 1,245 page tome which included decades of his research on the Cape Fear Valley.
