Author(s):
Perko, Gary V.
Abstract:
The claim for ownership of a mountain was waged for over a century and involved locals, state and federal authorities, and private interest groups. Officially, much of the land around Mount Mitchell currently belongs to the government. Continuing conservation efforts suggest, though, that ownership, as defined by a sense of responsibility, is still the province of the public.

Author(s):
Butler, Lindley S.
Abstract:
The year of Blackbeard’s death is part of a historical era commonly known as the Colonial period. Asserting the year is part of a historical era properly called the Golden Age of Privateering and Piracy, Butler reinforces this by profiling individuals from both groups.

Author(s):
Moore, David D.
Abstract:
When it comes to Blackbeard, Moore’s examination of documents compiled over the centuries reveal the task of truth-finding’s complexity. This comes from the lure of the myth as much as the mixture of facts and falsehoods since 1716, the date of the earliest known source mentioning Captain Edward Thatch.

Author(s):
Watkins-Kenney, Sarah
Abstract:
A tale many times told is likely to cite Queen Anne’s Revenge as the ship’s name, less so to note its French origins. Kenney-Watkins adds another layer of truth to the tale by including its relatively unknown African history in her discussion of conservation efforts begun in 1996.

Farrell, Erik; Kenyon, Kimberly; Watkins-Kenney, Sarah; Smith, Kay; Brown, Ruth
Abstract:
The fragment of text recovered told a shard of the story about the Golden Age of Piracy. More of this story can be found in aspects explored such as ships associated with Captain Woodes Rogers, his South Sea voyages, books on Queen Anne’s Revenge, and further historical research about Blackbeard’s flagship.

Huegel, Casey
Abstract:
The Outer Banks’ association with aircraft can also be attributed to David Driskill. In fact, from his ferrying of provisions, parcels, pay, and people, he became synonymous with flight for generations of locals. Acknowledgment of his two decades’ plus of service is attested in an article from another local famed figure, Aycock Brown, and a monument, erected after his death in a plane crash in 1952.

Author(s):
Waters, Darin J.
Abstract:
A coalition of local African American leaders and George Vanderbilt’s philanthropic support yielded Asheville’s Young Men’s Institute. The nonsectarian school offered educational and cultural opportunities for Western North Carolina African American communities. Its two-fold mission was to open the door for personal advancement in society and help dispel racist attitudes that often kept this door closed for African Americans.

Author(s):
Adler, Jonathan
Abstract:
This company’s 1955 advertisements and series of articles published by Lorillard in Carolina Times suggested African Americans had the same opportunities for advancement as other races in the United States. It wasn’t until the opening of a new plant in Greensboro the following year that the truth dismissed in both media items started to come to light. It was by examining the experiences of African American workers in this plant between 1956-1970, plus the history of their involvement in the tobacco industry, the author reveals further the truth about the challenges African Americans faced on the job and in society.

Ulin, Maxwell
Abstract:
Helms’ embrace of Israel in 1985 was a dramatic departure from his prior lack of support of Israel. Given his considerable influence in North Carolina’s Republican party, Helms’ about face made a powerful impact in the direction that modern conservative, right wing movement was to travel. Explained by the author were the reasons for Helms’ favoring a nation he had opposed giving support to since the 1970s.

Whichard, Willis P.
Abstract:
This history of North Carolina’s Supreme Court spans over two centuries. Whichard examined its legislature that became more progressive to the benefit of minorities and children. He revealed how over time this assembly of judges became more representative of North Carolina’s population. The author also noted judges who played a formidable role in its development such as John Louis Taylor, Walter Clark, and Sam Ervin IV.

Author(s):
Davis, Thomas P.
Abstract:
Davis illustrates how North Carolina’s Supreme Court from the antebellum period to the Great Depression was heavily influenced by two factors. One is English law, the other three of the state’s law schools. The extent of this influence is examined in how individuals like William Blackstone contributed to the state legislative branch's development. It is also examined in how these law schools’ curricula impacted law reform.

Abstract:
A signet ring found in the Outer Banks in 1998 was believed to be made from gold and belong to people part of the Lost Colony. Reexamination two decades later concluded that the ring not made from this metal, nor was it associated with the Kendall family. Enhancing understanding of the ring’s believed place in early North Carolina history was a review of long believed information about the Lost Colony.
