Abstract:
Carl Sandburg, one of the country's greatest poets and authors, purchased a house with 240 acres in Flat Rock in 1945. What surprises many people is the reason he and his family moved from Michigan. His wife, Lilian, had a business raising Chikaming goats. She was seeking a more temperate climate for her herd, considered one of the nation's finest. Sandburg wrote his only novel, Remembrance Rock, there. After his death in 1967, his home became a National Historic Site.

Abstract:
Just south of Hendersonville, North Carolina, is the former residence of Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Sandburg. The house sits on a 240-acre farm on the side of a mountain in the Blue Ridge foothills. Built in 1838, the house has a high porch and is constructed of white clapboard. Sandburg's wife, Paula, raised goats as a hobby. The farm is the only National Historic Site of its kind. Visitors can take twenty-minute tours of the house with the accompaniment of the National Park Service guide. Here, they can see how the famous writer created such master pieces as the biography of Abraham Lincoln and his “Complete Poems” on a typewriter which sat on an orange crate.

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:
The author asserted the home, with grounds declared a historic site by the Federal Government, belied significance on many levels. Personal significance was illustrated in the builder naming the house after a town in Ireland. Personal significance can be perceived in the appreciated beauty of Western North Carolina that encouraged the Sandburgs’ move from Michigan. As for its historical significance, that can be gauged in its construction during the antebellum period and the original owner’s position as treasurer for the Confederacy.

Abstract:
Noted first were reasons to appreciate the Coast and its waters, particularly sites that lend appeal. Land marks ranged from the well-known Outer Banks to perhaps lesser known Bird’s Island. Towns included famed Kittyhawk to the famed by relatively few Duck. As for what he saw as evidence of being taken for granted: pollution of air and water, destruction to dunes and wildlife. Out of an enduring appreciation for, and mounting concern about, he called for all North Carolinians to restore the Coast and its waters for future generations and out of a sacred duty.
