King Cotton may make a comeback in the Chowan County area, with the help of a cooperative insect control program organized by the county’s farmers. Cotton crops declined due to lack of manpower to harvest it and low profits, but Chowan’s soil is more suitable to cotton than to some of the other crops in the county.

Since its dedication in July 1963, over 300,000 people from all fifty states and thirty-four foreign countries have visited the Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia. Over 5,000 natural history specimens are on exhibit, including mounted birds, animals, fish, and reptiles. Larger animals, rarely seen except in large metropolitan museums, include the buffalo, American elk, caribou, and Rocky Mountain goat. The movement for the museum was started in Gastonia in 1958, when Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Schiele offered their collections valued at over $100,000. Mr. Schiele is the former curator and artist-taxidermist of the Philadelphia museums and former ranger-naturalist of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Greater Durham's nickname, \"A City of Medicine,\" is well-earned. For example, almost 28 percent of Durham County's population works in healthcare; over 50 percent of the state's biotech firms are in the county; three Nobel Laureates did their prize-wining research in Durham; and the Duke University Medical Center is ranked the nation's sixth-best medical center.

Weir describes Pilot Mountain. Located in Surry County, it is 2,700 feet above sea level and 1,500 above the surrounding countryside. It stands isolated, the sole survivor of other mountains that have eroded away. Over the centuries it has served as a guide to both Native Americans and wilderness travelers, like Daniel Boone. Within the past five years it has become accessible to motorists through the completion of a road to its base.
