The Rise and Fall of Rich Lands
Record #:
3230
Author(s):
Cecelski, David
Abstract:
John Averitt's Onslow County plantation, \"Rich Lands,\" was a leading naval stores producer 150 years ago. Although great wealth accrued to the family, uncontrolled harvesting destroyed the pines and led to the family's downfall in 1857.
