Abstract:

The familiar conflict between North and South found a place in Southern Pines, which the author revealed was a Northern outpost established after the Civil War. The event spurring the conflict was the 1907 Blues and Grays Convention. This civil war’s outcome, peaceful, was fostered between Squire Charles Shaw and Captain Asaph Clarke, representing what the author called Johnny Reb and Billy Yank.

Abstract:

Built in 1900 by the newly formed Seaboard Airline Railroad, the Hamlet Station, in Hamlet N.C., was once the principal stop for refueling and crew exchanges between large northern cities and the deep south. Although it has been recently added to the National Historic Register, the terminal is slated for replacement and hopes are that the building will be saved and converted to a museum.
