Situated in the heart of picturesque eastern North Carolina, Craven County--New Bern in particular--has as much rich history as quaint charm. As local author Bill Hand says, New Bern is much more than a couple of rivers, a lot of carved and sculpted bears and a collection of quaint restaurants and shops. We're history. In this engaging selection of historical stories, Hand reveals the quirky characters and fascinating events in Craven County's history that connect its generations of residents, past and present. Included is the story of James Davis, who set up North Carolina's first printing press and published its first newspaper, and the details of the life of Swiss playboy Baron Christopher DeGraffenried, who founded the town of New Bern. And many, many more. With a keen eye for history and a unique, clever style, Hand takes readers on a romp through Craven County's history and paints a fascinating picture of the area's past that is sure to delight locals and visitors alike.

The American Civil War was scarcely over when a group of ladies met in Raleigh and began to plan commemoration for the honored Confederate dead of North Carolina. In 1867, they held their first memorial service. Two years later in Fayetteville, the first monument to the state's fallen Confederate soldiers was erected. Over the next 14 decades, countless monuments were commissioned in cemeteries and courthouse squares across the state. Following Reconstruction, the veterans themselves began to gather in their local communities, and state and national reunions were held. For many of the Confederate veterans, honor for their previous service continued long after their deaths: accounts of their sacrifice were often chiseled on their grave markers. The images within this book--photographs of veterans and reunions, monuments, and tombstones--are but a sampling of the many ways that the old Confederate soldiers are commemorated across the Old North State.

Waterways, including the Neuse and Trent Rivers, have shaped the history, industry, and culture of Eastern North Carolina's Craven County. With pre-colonial beginnings as home to Native Americans of different nations, this county became a center for royal government and a genteel destination after Baron Christof de Graffenreid risked his fortune to create the permanent settlement of New Bern. After redefining itself time and time again, Craven County has now emerged as a modern community without losing a drop of its original ambience. The charm of Craven County has been enjoyed not only by North Carolinians, but also by the English during the Revolutionary War, the Union during the Civil War, merchants visiting for trade, and well-to-do hunters who came for the wildlife. Within these pages, readers will discover the landscape that has for centuries surrounded locals and visitors alike with unequaled beauty. This volume uncovers the county as it once was, a contrast between the sophistication of the city once dubbed the "Athens of North Carolina" and the pastoral quality of life in the rural farmlands and hunting clubs. Longtime residents will no doubt recognize scenes in these vintage photographs that show landmarks and views of the waterfront from times past, while those new to the area will delight in seeing their home as it once was.

In the blink of an eye... Quinn Sterling—part-time investigator and owner of Sterling Farms—expected the day to go well. Expected all of Craven County to put in an appearance at the much-anticipated, annual Fourth of July celebration on the farm grounds. Expected the temperature would hit hot-enough-to-peel-the-paint-off-a-pickup-truck. What she did not expect was the appearance of a long-lost uncle and new cousin. And she certainly never expected the county sheriff to seriously question her childhood friend, deputy Ty Jackson, as a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife Natalie in the next county over. When Ty is carted off mid-celebration by his boss and in front of his eight-year-old son Cole, Quinn realizes that she may be the only one willing to believe in his innocence regardless of damning evidence to the contrary. With the murder out of her county, Quinn has no contacts to lean on. She has no standing in the investigation. What she can do is make sure Ty has the best defense attorney in the state while she finds a way to prove what her heart knows. Even if that means crossing every line she's ever drawn for herself in pursuit of the real killer. Praise for C. Hope Clark: "Plot twists with grit, and a little fried okra on the side. Truly an excep¬tional mystery writer."—Cindy Ervin Huff, BookBub Reviews on The Craven County Mysteries "Badge of Edisto further establishes Clark's well-earned reputation as a master of the mystery genre."—Jonathan Haupt, coeditor, Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy Hope Clark's books have been honored as winners of the Epic Award, Silver Falcion Award, the Imaginarium Award, and the Daphne du Maurier Award. "The ending is explosive and wild. More great Lowcountry crime fiction from Clark."—C. Brad Cox, Amazon Vine Voice Reviewer on Badge Of Edisto About the author: C. HOPE CLARK is author of The Carolina Slade Mystery Series, and The Craven County Mysteries as well as The Edisto Island Mysteries, all set in her home state of South Carolina. In her previous federal life, she performed administrative investigations and married the agent she met on a bribery investigation. She enjoys nothing more than editing her books on the back porch with him, overlooking the lake, with bourbons in hand. She can be found either on the banks of Lake Murray or Edisto Beach with one or two dachshunds in her lap.

“Offers a new interpretation of the war on poverty by demonstrating the centrality of moderate local leadership (both white and black) in launching and operating antipoverty programs.”—Marisa Chappell, author of The War on Welfare: Family, Poverty, and Politics in Modern America “Hawkins has done a remarkable job of mining the sources and reconstructing the reality of what was going on in eastern North Carolina.”—Frank Stricker, author of Why America Lost the War on Poverty—And How to Win It While many scholars have argued that confrontation and protest were the most effective ways for the poor to empower themselves during the social change of the 1960s, Karen Hawkins demonstrates that moderate leadership and biracial cooperation were sometimes just as forceful. Everybody’s Problem shows these values at play in the nation’s first rural-based Community Action Agency to receive federal funding as a part of Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. Hawkins describes the founding of Craven Operation Progress in one of the poorest regions of North Carolina. She discusses the philosophies and tactics of its directors and outlines the tensions that arose between local leadership and federal control. Using previously untapped primary sources, including oral interviews with antipoverty workers and local citizens, records from the U.S. Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, and documents from the North Carolina Fund, Hawkins adds to the story of the factors that helped lower poverty rates and advance economic development during the 1960s and beyond. A volume in the series Southern Dissent, edited by Stanley Harrold and Randall M. Miller

In the state of North Carolina, few cities can match New Bern for its charm and rich history. Founded in 1710, the lovely coastal settlement became the Tar Heel State's first capital in 1770 and continued to have a historic impact. Evidence of New Bern's long, proud heritage still graces its streets today, allowing passersby glimpses into earlier eras. Equipped with extensive knowledge and wit, local historian Bill Hand navigates New Bern and uncovers its illustrious past. Through three walking tours that trace the town's development from colonial times to the twentieth century, and one that highlights its houses of worship, Hand educates while he entertains. Both first time visitors and life long residents will enjoy spending a day ambling through history in one the South's most enchanting towns.
