Abstract:

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a remarkable engineering feat, and one of the most popular attractions in the Southeast. It's not likely we could build it today.

Abstract:

There are three species of weasels in North America--the least, long-tailed, and short-tailed. Only the least and long-tail are found in North Carolina. Long-tails are found statewide, but least weasels confine their activities to the mountain counties. Primarily nocturnal, weasels are rarely seen. In northern climes the weasel's coat changes from brown and white in summer to all white in winter. In North Carolina the creature keeps the brown and white color year-round. The adult least weasel is the world's smallest carnivorous mammal.

Abstract:

Above Rosman in the Pisgah National Forest are the headwaters of the French Broad River. It runs free and unfettered from there to the Tennessee line. Pollution has been reduced and among the nation's major river, it remains a waterway of significant historical importance. Davies describes the river's sights and sounds.

Abstract:

Carp were introduced in the country in 1831, primarily as a food fish. A great stocking program followed that reached its heyday in the 1880s, when 260,000 carp were distributed in 298 of the 301 United States Congressional Districts. Davies discusses how to fish for carp and why this fish has fallen into disfavor.
