Abstract:

On two different occasions, vast sums of money have been spent in order to obliterate Lake Mattamuskeet through systems of pumping in order to use the land for crops. However, nature has refused to be conquered and the Lake has continually returned. In 1934, the Federal Government purchased the Lake as a migratory waterfowl refuge and black bass feeding ground.
