Abstract:
Morris visited seven of North Carolina's tiniest towns. He describes each one and discusses why these small places appeal to people. Each of the towns is listed in the U.S. census of 2000 as an incorporated municipality with a population under 300. The towns are Gatesville (pop. 281); Seven Springs (pop. 86); Macon (pop. 115); Seagrove (pop. 274); Danbury (pop. 108); Hayesville (pop. 297); and Seven Devils (pop. 130).
