North Carolina: Background Info

This volume contains over 20,000 entries that locate the geographical features of North Carolina—counties, towns, cities, rivers, creeks, lakes, mountains, gaps, ridges, bays, sounds, inlets. All are listed and in many cases the derivation of the name and additional historical data are included. The North Carolina Gazetteer is a great reference for Tar Heels (and those who wish they were), tourists, students, historians, geographers, journalists, and genealogists.

A children's book about the early days of the colony of North Carolina.

It includes links to information that students of all ages request about the state, its history, people, government, and educational institutions.
