Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the ruins of the colonial port town of Brunswick and the large earthworks of the Civil War's Fort Anderson in this collection of historic photographs. Established in 1952, Brunswick was once the major port in colonial North Carolina and was partially burned by British troops twice during the American Revolution. During the American Civil War, Fort Anderson was constructed atop some of the ruins of the town and served as part of the Cape Fear River defenses below Wilmington. Today, visitors to the site can see the archaeological ruins of the foundations of the colonial buildings that once stood as a port town, along with the shell of St. Philip's Anglican Church. The site still conducts archaeological excavations each spring. Brunswick Town and Fort Anderson State Historic Site is administered by the Division of State Historic Sites in the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Jim McKee has been an interpreter at Brunswick Town and Fort Anderson Historic Site for over 10 years. His research has greatly added to the academic and archaeological knowledge of this fascinating historic site.

Download or read book Revisiting the Port of Brunswick written by Hannah P. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the fall of 2010, a series of colonial period wharves and other features have been revealed as a result of erosion along the banks of the Cape Fear River at Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site in Winnabow, North Carolina. These features have produced a considerable quantity of artifacts, but no formalized conservation plan has yet been developed for this area of the site. This proposed plan discusses the role of conservation at all stages of the archaeological processes, but focuses on the conservation needs of artifacts following excavation. Treatments for wood, ceramics, glass, leather, and textiles are discussed, as these are the major material types recovered along Brunswick's waterfront. The treatment of a knit cap and two leather shoes are discussed in detail as three case studies for the application of this conservation plan. The treatment options discussed will provide a possible course of action for the treatment of artifacts from this site, as well as similar sites elsewhere in the United States and abroad.
Download or read book Research Design of Fort Anderson written by Daniel Hildebran and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to produce a research design for Fort Anderson, a State Historic Site on the west bank of the Cape Fear River in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The thesis opens with the history of Fort Anderson, starting with a history of the Colonial town Brunswick, to provide a context for the site. A specific history of the fort begins with discussing the importance of Wilmington and the defenses of the Cape Fear River. Following this overview there is a summary of the construction of and capture of Fort Anderson. The research design uses the historical and archaeological background to formulate site-specific archaeological questions and uses cases studies of Civil War archeology to ensure that research at Fort Anderson is within the context of Civil War archeology. This research touches upon the following areas: previous archaeological research, the archeology of fort construction, a survey of the site, the fort's hospital, and the archeology of camp life. This research is designed to provide future archaeologists and the site manager of Fort Anderson with ways to better interpret the fortification and enhance the preservation of earthworks.

Download or read book Old Southern Apples written by Creighton Lee Calhoun and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book that became an instant classic when it first appeared in 1995, Old Southern Apples is an indispensable reference for fruit lovers everywhere, especially those who live in the southern United States. Out of print for several years, this newly revised and expanded edition now features descriptions of some 1,800 apple varieties that either originated in the South or were widely grown there before 1928. Author Lee Calhoun was one of the foremost figures in apple conservation in America. This masterwork reflects his knowledge and personal experience over more than thirty years, as he sought out and grew hundreds of classic apples, including both legendary varieties (like Nickajack and Magnum Bonum) and little-known ones (like Buff and Cullasaga). Representing our common orchard heritage, many of these apples are today at risk of disappearing from our national table. Illustrated with more than 120 color images of classic apples from the National Agricultural Library’s collection of watercolor paintings, Old Southern Apples is a fascinating and beautiful reference and gift book. In addition to A-to-Z descriptions of apple varieties, both extant and extinct, Calhoun provides a brief history of apple culture in the South, and includes practical information on growing apples and on their traditional uses.

Download or read book New Data Old Methods written by Jennifer L. Gabriel and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two archaeological features, N26 and N29, at Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site were originally located and minimally excavated by Stanley South in the late 1950s. Historical documents and limited excavations led South to interpret both N26 and N29 as colonial era features. Further archaeological investigations during the 2009 and 2011 William Peace University field schools gathered new information indicating that South's interpretation of feature N26 should be reconsidered. While the functional nature of N26 is still unknown, new evidence indicates that it is of Civil War origin, not colonial. Feature N29 was determined to be a colonial era dwelling as South previously hypothesized. It was also concluded through quantitative pattern analysis and qualitative analysis of artifacts, that the occupants of the dwelling associated with N29 was of high socioeconomic status.
