Unexpectedly, Major General D.H. Hill, commander of all Confederate troops in North Carolina, attacked New Bern and other Federal positions along the coast.

Abstract:

This interview, conducted by a sixth grader, was with Donald Paul, whose father owned a local general store. Donald Paul’s observations related life as it was on both sides of the counter, particularly during the period of widespread economic hardship. Topics that betrayed the time period included what his father charged for gas and snacks, the lack of child labor laws, and cars that the interviewee purchased new for under a thousand dollars.

Abstract:

This article was written in response to incorrect information contained in Frederick Sloatman’s “Streets and Roads of New Bern Linking Us with the Past,” published in the Spring 1993 edition. One of Sloatman’s corrections was in reference to New Bern’s involvement in the Revolutionary War. The second correction was an omitted paragraph. It referenced names of streets on the Price-Fitch map included in the previous article.
