Abstract:

Navigation on the Cape Fear River is tricky, and no master would attempt it without the knowledge of one of the seven licensed captains in the Wilmington-Cape Fear Pilots Association. The Association is a unique group rooted in the romantic traditions of the Civil War.

Abstract:

Eighty years before Boston's celebrated tea party, Brunswick's resistance to Britain took play in open daylight, was led by the most prominent men of the community, with arms in their hands, who defied His Majesty's governor, his navy, and his tax collectors. Today, Old Brunswick is a ghost town on the banks of the Cape Fear River.

Norris, Jeannie Faris

Abstract:

A spring located at the head of Allen Creek on the boundary of the Sunny Point Reservation in Brunswick County, provided 42 million gallons of pure fresh water a day into and out of McKenzie Pond; but no one has been able to figure out where it comes from. Bill Keziah believes it may be from an underwater river underneath Cape Fear.
