Abstract:

The state boundaries of North Carolina are more than just lines on a map; they have led to tales of love and murder, pride and confusion, new islands and old disputes. Twenty stories describe how history, geography, race, culture, politics, and geophysical events that have shaped North Carolina, the Outer Banks and newly formed Shelly Island.

Abstract:

The Great Flood of 1940 in North Carolina was caused by days of torrential downpours from a hurricane. Landslides caused by the rain and clear-cutting mountainsides engulfed several towns, killing twelve people and ruining hundreds of properties. This article remembers those that died and the impact the landslides had on the towns they crushed.
