Abstract:
"Although North Carolina is home to 175 public cemeteries, thousands of other burial grounds -- beneath trees, behind churches, and inside nondescript gates -- shelter fragments if history, Sometimes celebrated but often forgotten, their beauty and their stories wait to be discovered. The article covers Howard family graves in Ocracoke, W.T Alexander Slave Cemetery in Mecklenburg , Owl Scottish Graveyard in Carthage, Hidden Cemeteries of Fontana Lake and Fort Nooherooka,
