Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edenton and Chowan County, North Carolina is a pictorial history that celebrates early 20th-century lifestyles enjoyed by citizensof the first unofficial colonial capital. Conveniently located between three important waterways in Eastern North Carolina, Chowan County, along with its county seat of Edenton, is a remarkable community whose roots dig deeply into the 1600s when settlers arrived from Jamestown. The steadfast Perquimans River to the east, the rapidly flowing Chowan River to the west, and the serene Edenton Bay to the south have for centuries provided means of transportation, economic endeavors, and scenic views for citizens and visitors alike. By 1750, Edenton had blossomed into a distinctly rustic and bustling community, and these water canals had greatly contributed to the needs of the county's merchants, lawyers, carpenters, and plantation workers. Edenton and Chowan County, North Carolina is an engaging pictorial history that celebrates early 20th-century lifestyles enjoyed by community members of the first unofficial colonial capital. Readers will visit ancestral plantations and the ancient labor of seine net fishing, while the Norfolk and Southern railcar-steamship John W. Garrett plies once again across the Albemarle Sound. Many of the area's earlier residents are brought to life, in word and image, while they work at the Edenton Peanut Company, the Edenton Cotton Mill, and many of the old stores that lined Main Street (now Broad Street).

Book excerpt: A CHOICE Magazine Outstanding Academic Title for 2001 James Iredell sailed from England to the English colony of North Carolina in 1768 to be a customs officer at the port of Edenton. While serving King George III at the port of Edenton, Iredell studied law under Samuel Johnston, who would become his brother-in-law, mentor, and friend. Iredell became a superior lawyer and the leading essayist in his region in support of American independence. Following the American Revolution, he was the foremost advocate in North Carolina for adoption of the proposed federal Constitution and later served on the Supreme Court after ratification. In Justice James Iredell, Whichard traces the life of this public servant from customs officer to lawyer to eminent statesman and concludes with a description of the man himself: his family, friends, finances, slaves, and religion. This fascinating book includes a picture of Justice Iredell as well as pictures of his wife, associates, home town, and publications. It is the only biography chronicling the achievements of this important figure in North Carolina and American history. "In this first definitive biography of Iredell, Whichard...superbly captures the essence of circuit riding at that time, juxtaposing the almost unbearable hardships of primitive travel to the social amenities and associations with the prominent figures of the day. A model of biographical research and a fitting tribute to an unsung hero." -- CHOICE Magazine "Carefully documented, well-written, and entertaining to read, this single modern biography of the sixth Justice is a notable addition to the bibliography of the early court." -- Journal of Supreme Court History, 2002

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Neighborhood Analysis, Edenton, North Carolina: Inventory and Prospects The purpose of this study is to identify and show the presence of blight in the Town of Edenton and to recommend positive action to eliminate present blight and to prevent future blight. For this purpose the town has been divided into 19 study areas located in eight neighborhoods. Blight defies concrete definition, but for purposes of this study, blight is that combination of forces; physical, economic, and social that mar the appearance of Edenton and adversely affects the health, safety, and general well being of its citizens. Blight can be seen in deteriorated and dilapidated houses, in unpaved and unsafe streets, over crowded living conditions, unsafe water and lack of adequate sewer facilities. It can be seen in rows of houses with no parks or open spaces. It comes to the surface in illegitimate children, infant deaths, diseases and crimes large and small. It shows in families who because of lack of education, disability or age are unable to earn an income to bring them into the main stream of life in Edenton.

Edenton is a town located in Chowan County, NC. which is in the northeastern portion of the state. It served as the second capitol of the state or Provience of NC, as is was the first European settlement within the state. Settlers began arriving in the mid to late 1600's as adventurers leaving the Jamestown area started searching the wilderness for new lands and a natural bay on the northern shore of the Albemarle Sound was geographical and natural fit to solve this dilemma.

Also, there are many scattered references to Virginians throughout these abstracts due to the proximity the area.
