The first major study of slavery in the maritime South, The Waterman's Song chronicles the world of slave and free black fishermen, pilots, rivermen, sailors, ferrymen, and other laborers who, from the colonial era through Reconstruction, plied the vast inland waters of North Carolina from the Outer Banks to the upper reaches of tidewater rivers. Demonstrating the vitality and significance of this local African American maritime culture, David Cecelski also reveals its connections to the Afro-Caribbean, the relatively egalitarian work culture of seafaring men who visited nearby ports, and the revolutionary political tides that coursed throughout the black Atlantic. Black maritime laborers played an essential role in local abolitionist activity, slave insurrections, and other antislavery activism. They also boatlifted thousands of slaves to freedom during the Civil War. But most important, Cecelski says, they carried an insurgent, democratic vision born in the maritime districts of the slave South into the political maelstrom of the Civil War and Reconstruction.

Into the Sound Country is a story of rediscovery--of two North Carolinians returning to seek their roots in the state's eastern provinces. It is an affectionate, impressionistic, and personal portrait of the coastal plain by two natives of the region, writer Bland Simpson and photographer Ann Cary Simpson. Here Bland Simpson tours his old waterfront haunts in Elizabeth City, explores scuppernong vineyards from Hertford to Southport, tramps through Pasquotank swamps and Croatan pine savannas, and visits Roanoke River oyster bars and Core Banks fishing shanties. Ann Simpson's original photographs capture both the broad vistas of the sounds and rivers and the quieter corners of mossy creeks and country churchyards. Her selection of archival illustrations ranges from the informative to the humorous, from a turpentine scraper at work in the 1850s to a pair of little girls playing with a horseshoe crab on a Beaufort porch at the turn of the century. A memorable journey into eastern Carolina's richly varied natural world, Into the Sound Country is for anyone who would spend a while in one of America's most intriguing and underexplored areas.

Anne Oldfield, who lived from 1683 to 1730, was one of the first great female stars of the London stage. Although her origins are so obscure that the place and exact date of her birth are not known, she was buried with pomp in Westminster Abbey--the first actress to be so honored for her personal achievement. She was certainly, by the standards of her time, an unconventional woman, earning her own way in the world, choosing to live openly with two successive lovers, and rearing two natural sons. Yet she was particularly successful in portraying conventional or idealized female characters. In comedy she specialized in the "fine" or fashionable lady, a role with which she became popularly identified despite the contrast between her busy professional life and that of the leisured, aristocratic women she portrayed. In tragedy (which she professed to dislike), she broke new ground, bringing to prominence a characteristically Augustan heroine, the noble patriot and martyr. In an important sense, these stage roles contributed not only to the fame but to the respectability of the woman who became known as "the celebrated Mrs. Oldfield."
