One of the outstanding literary characters associated with the history of Carolina is Edgar Wilson (Bill) Nye, who died in February 1896. Born in Shirley, Maine in 1850, Nye gave up law to become a writer, moving Henderson County in 1886. It was during these years that Nye wrote many famous works, including history of the United States, the Art of Lecturing, and Guest at Ludlow.
