Abstract:

In the early part of the 20th-century, wealthy Northern sportsmen purchased large tracts of marshland in North Carolina for use as their own private hunting preserves. Farseeing individuals on the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other groups made purchases of waterfowl areas for public use. Powell gives a short summary of each of the following duck hunting areas: Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound, Pamlico Sound, Lake Mattamuskeet, Pamlico River, the Piedmont, and southeastern Coastal Plain. \r\n
