Download or read book Growing Up in Snow Camp North Carolina written by Debbie Moon and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History in the making in the 1800s and 1900s in a small rural Southeastern community is something that most Americans never get to experience in their lifetime. A lot of readers would enjoy reading about such a magical place in time, especially how life was without public transportation, without public communication, without electricity and without inside running water and bathroom facilities. It provides an eye-opening perspective into today's American luxuries! Nevertheless, love stories of families excelling in such "a time as this" is evident and resilience holds while technology abounds. Snow Camp, North Carolina today is much the same with several churches, one elementary school, one post office, one gas station, one fire station, a couple of restaurants, and a couple of small grocery/variety stores. It does boast of an Outdoor Drama, "The Sword of Peace" that draws many visitors during the Summer. A historical marker located in the heart of Snow Camp states that Lord Cornwallis camped in the area after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse and used the home of a Quaker, Simon Dixon, as his headquarters. This is a documentation of a place in"time" as it slowly, but surely, slips away! Debbie Moon, the author, was granted the privilege of growing up in such an environment at such a time as this! She is a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, church musician, children's choir director, paralegal analyst, breast cancer survivor, and friend to all. Blessings to you as her legacy is shared.

Download or read book North Carolina Quakers written by J. Timothy Allen and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1750s, Quakers from Pennsylvania and Virginia settled in the North Carolina Piedmont, eventually organizing Spring Friends Meeting in 1763. The Friends still gather by the spring and wait for the light to descend upon them 250 years later. Spring Meeting nursed the injured and dying in the American Revolution, said goodbye to members migrating to farmlands in the Northwest, stood against slavery in the antebellum years, helped reconstruct the South in the late 1800s, and held their pacifist beliefs throughout the 20th century. A record-setting World Series pitcher, leading educators, missionaries, and major figures in North Carolina Quaker leadership fill its rolls. Persevering through the ebb and flow of revivals and apathy, Spring Meeting has left its mark in history. Today the spring flows, the front door remains unlocked, and members still gather on First Sundays.

Download or read book Arts in Earnest written by Daniel W. Patterson and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arts in Earnest explores the unique folklife of North Carolina from ruddy ducks to pranks in the mill. Traversing from Murphy to Manteo, these fifteen essays demonstrate the importance of North Carolina’s continually changing folklife. From decoy carving along the coast, to the music of tobacco chants and the blues of the Piedmont, to the Jack tales of the mountains, Arts in Earnest reflects the story of a people negotiating their rapidly changing social and economic environment. Personal interviews are an important element in the book. Laura Lee, an elderly black woman from Chatham County, describes the quilts she made from funeral flower ribbons; witnesses and friends each remember varying details of the Duke University football player who single-handedly vanquished a gang of would-be muggers; Clyde Jones leads a safari through his backyard, which is filled with animals made of wood and cement that represent nontraditional folk art; the songs and sermon of a Primitive Baptist service flow together as one—“it tills you up all over”; Durham bluesman Willie Trice, one of a handful of Durham musicians who recorded in the 1930s and early 1940s, remembers when the active tobacco warehouses offered ready audiences—“They’d tip us a heap of change to play some music”; and Goldsboro tobacco auctioneer H. L. “Speed” Riggs chants 460 words per minute, five to six times faster than a normal conversational rate.
