Abstract:

Hurricane strikes in North Carolina damage not only lives and private and commercial property; they also take a toll on our historic heritage. When Hurricane Isabel struck the eastern section of the state on September 18, 2003, many historic sites and museums were affected, including the town of Edenton, the Outer Banks History Center, Historic Halifax, and the State Highway Historical Marker Program.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Literary and Historical Association (NCLHA) was established in 1900 to connect North Carolinians with their literature and history. At the 1936 annual meeting of NCLHA, Thomas Wolfe, arguably one of North Carolina's most famous writers, was slated to be the keynote speaker. Wolfe failed to deliver this speech, though unfortunate, still generated a great deal of attention for the meeting and NCLHA regardless of his attendance.
