Abstract:
Spotlighted was a famous NC author in the running for a commemorative stamp and his most famous work, Look Homeward, Angel. Or at least in writing—play and screenplay—was the novel still renowned. As the author revealed, the best known work produced by this native son has experienced a sales decline since WWII. The best evidence for Wolfe readership’s decrease to Owen, though, was in the dearth of college students familiar with Wolfe works.

His life didn’t include authorship until he was eighty-three. As if to make up for lost writing time, he has published The Kinnakeeter, and while still engaged in Sunday School teaching, he has started his second book, Isle of Paradise (about Hatteras Island). The careers that occupied his life before writing were teacher, fisherman, wholesale merchant, and co-owner of a seaweed business (he and his father were the first to bring this type of business to Hatteras Island).

Abstract:
North Carolina author Hinton Rowan Helper's one best-seller, THE IMPENDING CRISIS: HOW TO MEET IT, brought him acclaim in the North and disdain in the South. His book dealt with the effect of slavery upon the three-fourths of the Southern whites who owned no slaves, and, therefore, could not benefit from the system of slavery. By 1860, over 142,000 copies were in print, and it was second in popularity only to UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.
