Abstract:
The Dram Tree, a staple of the geographic landscape in Edenton, was also a folk icon of the area where incoming sea captains to the port were to leave a bottle of rum within the giant cypress, but were also expected to replenish it with the same upon leaving. The first paragraph states that a recent winter storm destroyed this icon of Eastern North Carolina.
