Abstract:

Tucker describes a few of the many historic trees to be found in the state. Many interesting historical and traditional events are connected with them. The old Tory Oak at Wilkesboro is where several Tories are said to have been hanged. The old Dram Tree on the Cape Fear near Wilmington was the signal for taking a last dram before reaching port. The historic Daniel Boone Oak in Davie County is more than 500 years old.

Abstract:

The Dram Tree, a staple of the geographic landscape in Edenton, was also a folk icon of the area where incoming sea captains to the port were to leave a bottle of rum within the giant cypress, but were also expected to replenish it with the same upon leaving. The first paragraph states that a recent winter storm destroyed this icon of Eastern North Carolina.
