Abstract:
With tourism increasing on the Outer Banks, developers began hotel construction. The Nags Header Hotel, a three-story oceanfront structure built at Milepost 11 for $20,000, opened in May 1935. It was billed as the Carolina coast's finest hotel. Amenities included a bath in every room with hot and cold running water. The hotel burned to the ground October 28, 1978. The author's grandfather, George C. Culpepper, Sr., owned the hotel from 1944 to 1970.

Abstract:
Conditions in Scotland in the 1700s, including the start of sheep raising, changes in the hierarchy of clans, and uniting England and Scotland, encouraged many to seek a new life in North Carolina. By the late 18th-century, the largest population of Scots outside Scotland lived in the state. Their history is remembered yearly in the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and Gathering of the Scottish Clans. Ancestry can be traced through libraries, courthouses, and the Scottish Heritage Center at St. Andrews Presbyterian College.

Abstract:
Greensboro Artist William Mangum captures the heritage of the state in a book he calls Carolina Preserves. Recognizing that a way of life was fast disappearing, Mangum sought a way to combine stories and images of the state's heritage. He asked forty-eight North Carolinians to write essays discussing what influenced their lives, work, and spiritual centers. Mangum then created individual art work to accompany the writings. The book took three years to complete and contains 130 paintings.
