Abstract:
Legend has it that Daniel Boone lived in a log cabin near the Yadkin River in Davidson County and took refuge from Indians in a nearby cave. Now called Boone's Cave State Park, this 110-acres park falls short of the 400-acre minimum for a state park. The state says there is no real evidence that Daniel Boone ever occupied the territory and is ready to stop funding of the park. A local dentist named Dr. Wade Sowers has been collecting historical material to prove Boone did actually live there. A second replica of Boone's cabin was built by the Daniel Boone Memorial Association after the first was burned by vandals. A park office was added, as well as restrooms, a picnic area, and wooden steps leading down to the cave. But the state's interest in the park is waning and it stopped counting visitors in 1983. Both the state and surrounding counties agree that the territory is part of North Carolina's heritage and should be preserved.

Abstract:
The Mountains were a valuable part of NC, the author proclaimed, initially measuring this value in the types of precious stones to be found in ranges such as Pisgah. Discussed later was their greatest source of wealth—the people. Such people included those there before the arrival of English settlers, such as the Cherokee. Such people included the generations of immigrants and present day resident of Appalachia. The author concluded that collectively they helped to make the area what it became.

Abstract:
Story, in this case, crossed the line between fiction and non-fiction. the author noted that her grandmother Mary Casey was a “walking, talking, history book of the Outer Banks.” More history than story can be perceived in recollections that included references to Daniel Boone and the unsavory early days of Hyde County.

Abstract:
A new 4-H camp site in Mulberry Valley, Caldwell County was a memorial gift of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Robinson of Lenoir, who lost their only two children to polio. The uniqueness of the camp lies in the fact that it will be used for primitive camping. The property was where the Robinson children were born, and has historical significance because the land once belonged to Israel Boone, a brother of Daniel Boone, from whom Mrs. Robinson is a fifth generation descendant.

Abstract:
Piedmont, North Carolina is rich in historic landmarks. Among these are Trading Ford, Boone's Cave, the Old Stone Wall, and Sapona. Trading Ford was located where the old trading path crossed the Yadkin River; there the Sapona Indians had an important trading post where traders stopped to trade and recruit. Sapona is located on the Davidson County side of the Yadkin River and was the headquarters and principle town of the Sapona Tribe. Tradition tells us that Boone's Cave is where Daniel Boone hid upon being pursued by Indians.
