Goerch, Carl

Abstract:

Continuing his travels to North Carolina's counties, Goerch visits Hyde County. It is a paradise for hunters and fishermen, with all kinds of waterfowl and bounty from the ocean. It is one of the oldest state counties, and was named for Edward Hyde, who was the Governor of the colony. It has a number of interesting places, including Swanquarter's \"rambling church,\" Lake Mattamuskeet, and Ocracoke Island, where the notorious pirate Blackbeard fought his last battle.
