Blackburn, Charles, Jr.

Abstract:

While NASCAR and ACC basketball keep sports fans in the state occupied today, horse racing in eastern North Carolina during the 1700s and early 1800s was the most exciting sporting event around. Blackburn discusses the history of racing in the state, famous horses, like Sir Archie, and their owners.
