Abstract:

Captain Charlie Hatsell is renowned for his terrapin hatching at Piver's Island, North Carolina. And in 1944, he released a crop of nine-month old baby diamond-back terrapins into the sounds and creeks of the southeast. The adults will later be caught and used for terrapin stew and soup, a delicacy in the region.
