Abstract:

When Southern Pines was first settled, walking was the only form of transportation. Wagons and bicycles came next, and a number of livery stables encouraged Northern settlers to bring their horses with them. Ox-mobiles and trolleys followed. Croquet tournaments became a popular pastime, as did bowling. The Northern health-seekers brought a lot of their region with them and left a lot behind when they returned home.
