A collection of short pieces by the 

 irrepressible founder, publisher and 

 editor o/The State. 



6. Paul Green. The Lost Colony: An 

 Outdoor Play in Two Acts (with Music, 

 Pantomime and Dance). UNC Press, 

 1937. 



This play is not only the first and 

 longest-lived outdoor drama in the 

 United States, but also the source of 

 what multitudes know or think they 

 know about the Raleigh colonies. Later 

 editions have different subtitles and 

 more subtle dissimilarities. 



7. Rod Gragg. Confederate Goliath: 

 The Battle of Fort Fisher. Harper 

 Collins, 1991. 



8. Thomas Harriot. A Brief e and True 

 Report of the New Found Land of 

 Virginia. Dover, 1972. 



Harriot taught Sir Walter Raleigh 

 navigation, discovered sunspots inde- 

 pendently of Galileo, invented the 

 symbols < and >, and wrote the first 

 scientific report on the resources and 

 people of eastern North Carolina. 

 Quinn's Roanoke Voyages (see 16) 

 also contains the text. But this facsimile 

 of the 1590 edition warrants separate 

 mention because it includes engravings 

 by Theodor De Bry and others based 

 on John White's water colors. 



9 . Homer Hickam Jr. Torpedo Junc- 

 tion: U-Boat War off America' s East 

 Coast, 1942. Naval Institute Press, 

 1989. 



This book covers the Eastern 

 Seaboard, but it contains a great deal 

 relevant to North Carolina. 



1 0. Hilda Jaffe. The Speech of the 

 Central Coast of North Carolina: The 

 Carteret County Version of the Banks 



"Brogue." Publication of the American 

 Dialect Society 60. University of Ala- 

 bama Press, 1973. 



Despite its recent publication, this is 

 an early inquiry into a dialect often 

 labeled as Elizabethan, Cockney, Anglo- 

 Saxon High Tider and so on in the 

 popular press. 



1 1. Archie Johnson and Bud Coppedge. 

 Gun Clubs and Decoys of Back Bay and 

 Currituck Sound. Pictorial Heritage 

 Publishing Company, 1991. 



A copiously illustrated introduction 

 to an engrossing subject. 



1 2. Fred C. Kelly. Miracle at Kitty 

 Hawk: The Letters of Wilbur and Orville 

 Wright. New York: Farrar, Straus and 

 Young, 1951. 



This book deals with more than the 

 Wrights' work at Kitty Hawk, but it 

 deserves inclusion nonetheless.
