Download or read book Martin County written by Fred W. Harrison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in one of the most picturesque regions of Eastern North Carolina, Martin County has provided a setting for many of the important events in the Tar Heel State's history: from the early exploits of New World explorers and the county's part in the American Revolution, to its plantation-style existence in the antebellum South and its strategic importance during the Civil War, to its developing role in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the state's agriculture and timber commerce. Martin County, showcasing nearly 200 photographs, will take you on a visual journey through the county's past and allow you to explore Williamston, Robersonville, and the smaller rural communities, such as Oak City, Hamilton, and Jamesville, dotting the countryside as they appeared over the past 100 years. Walking down unpaved streets and peering into early general stores, hotels, homes, businesses, tobacco warehouses, and schools, you will meet many of the county's prominent community leaders, such as Cushing Biggs Hassel and Sheriff William Hardison, and a wide selection of everyday citizens, who worked on the area farms, owned some of the small businesses, and served in a variety of wars. This volume also brings to life the personal side of Martin County, showing the county's people at play in the local swimming pools, on the sporting field, in their front yards at special family events, and along Main Street waiting on the parade.
Download or read book Martin County written by Chris Hanning and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first settlers arrived in Martin County in March 1856, the county was part of Brown and Faribault Counties. Perhaps these settlers heard the stories told by soldiers who passed through the region. They spoke of the many lakes and streams of clear water and abundant fish and waterfowl, ever-popular fur-bearing mammals, and timber stands where elk, deer, and buffalo foraged. Word spread fast, and by the winter of 1856-1857, the population of Martin County exploded to 20 men, 9 women, and 23 children. Martin County provides a visual record of the many cities in the county, from Dunnell to Truman and back down to East Chain and all the rest in between. There are photographs of the blizzard of 1881, a 1918 Red Cross auction, men balancing on telephone poles, and much more.
Download or read book Martin County Revisited written by Fred W. Harrison, Jr. and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated along the south bank of the Roanoke River, Martin County was established in 1774. Vast pine forests in the region assured the county's early economic success with the production of naval stores, tar pitch, and turpentine. By the late 19th century, large-scale lumber concerns and tobacco and peanut farming ushered in a new era of prosperity. Today, the area leads the state in the production of peanuts and cotton. Twice during the 20th century, the county made national headlines--first with the 1925 Needleman Case and later with the famed Williamston civil rights events of 1963 and 1964. Fond memories of church dinners, family gatherings, parades, and intriguing personalities like local baseball legends Jim and Gaylord Perry are recalled through images that make this return visit to Martin County all the more worthwhile. Martin County Revisited showcases the rich agrarian and social history of this eastern North Carolina county.
