Book excerpt: Known throughout the state for its turpentine and tar industry, helping the state to earn its nickname, ‚"the Tar Heel State,‚" Sampson County is the quintessential North Carolina county, a combination of beautiful rural landscapes, charming small towns, and hard-working people of all walks of life.

A collection of unique and vivid photographs, Sampson County allows you to experience firsthand the wide array of life throughout the area and explore Sampson County‚'s fascinating history, showing scenes of early rural life; views of men cutting down long-leaf pines, laboring in the tar and turpentine companies around the county, and working in the early businesses of Clinton, Hobbton, and other villages; images of turn-of-thecentury homes, churches, and one-room schoolhouses that dotted this expansive landscape; pictures of early courthouses in Clinton; and most importantly, portraits of the people and families who lived, worked, and played here, from local community leaders to everyday citizens.

This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Croatan Indians of Sampson County, NC, written by George Edwin Butler (1868-1941) and composed only a year after Special Indian Agent Orlando McPherson's Indians of North Carolina report, was an appeal to the state of North Carolina to create schools for the "Croatans" of Sampson County just as it had for those designated as Croatans in, for example, Robeson County, North Carolina. Butler's report would prove to be important in an evolving system of southern racial apartheid that remained uncertain of the place of Native Americans. It documents a troubled history of cultural exchange and conflict between North Carolina's native peoples and the European colonists who came to call it home. The report reaches many erroneous conclusions, in part because it was based in an anthropological framework of white supremacy, segregation-era politics, and assumptions about racial "purity." Indeed, Butler's colonial history connecting Sampson County Indians to early colonial settlers was used to legitimize them and to deflect their categorization as African-Americans. In statements about the fitness of certain populations to coexist with European-American neighbors and in sympathetic descriptions of nearly-white "Indians," it reveals the racial and cultural sensibilities of white North Carolinians, the persistent tensions between tolerance and self-interest, and the extent of their willingness to accept indigenous "Others" as neighbors.
