Abstract:

Horace Kephart came to North Carolina in 1904, after a career in St. Louis as a librarian. He lived in the Hazel Creek area of Swain County and later moved to Bryson City, the county seat. He wrote many books and articles about the outdoors. CAMPING AND WOODCRAFT, published in 1906, is considered a classic in its field and is still in print over eighty years later. Dean discusses some of Kephart�s woodcraft wisdom.

Brown pelicans have been declining along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, so much so that they have been declared an endangered species. However, in North Carolina their numbers are increasing. In the last ten years, nesting pairs in the state have increased tenfold.

Abstract:

In this Carolina Profile, A. B. Coleman, now age 75, reflects on his outdoor experiences and what the state's land and resources mean to him. Coleman, an avid backpacker, canoer, and lover of nature, has ranged widely beyond the state, traveling along the Northwest coast and to Alaska, the Arctic, and Hawaii. He is best known to North Carolinians for his 919-acre gift that became Merchant's Millpond State Park.
