The rocks of the two belts are very similar and consist of red, brown, purple and gray claystone, Shale, sandstone, conglomerate and fanglomerate, and some coal. The eastern one half of the State is underlain by sedimentary deposits that range from Upper Cretaceous to Recent in age. These sediments are commonly referred to as the Coastal Plain deposits and consist largely of unconsolidated sediments that include gravels, sands, clays, limestone and marls. The deposits of the Coastal Plain form a wedge-shaped block of sediments that increases in thickness from a feather edge along its western border to approximately feet at Cape Hatteras. The sedi ments rest unconformably on crystalline rocks of Precambrian age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sketches of North Carolina Classic Reprint written by Vance Vance and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of North Carolina I have the usual to offer for the publication of this little volume. It will sufficiently appear, by both the matter and the style, that it was not originally intended to assume this shape. When my friend Mr. Hope first solicited me to write something for his journal, I consented only on condition that he would accept such papers as I might be able to prepare in the midst of the wearisome and unending duties which devolve upon a country lawyer. He was pleased to say that he preferred such spontaneous productions to more studied and elaborate essays, as being better adapted to the columns of a daily newspaper. Thus encouraged I began the task, selecting, naturally and almost instinctively, North Carolina as my theme. The sketches were written under most unfavorable circumstances; many were penciled off at night after a fatiguing day of labor in the court-house, and others whilst on the circuit, without books of reference, and sent immediately off to the editor. My professional brethren, at least, will appreciate the tread-mill existence from which they sprang. After a few numbers were published, Mr. Hope surprised me very much by copyrighting the series, and informing me of his wish to publish in book form. To this I yielded reluctantly. I was conscious of their defects, of their careless manner of preparation, of their scattered and disconnected order; and yet worse, I did not have leisure to rewrite, correct, or add to them. Still I yielded to Mr. Hopes wish, and although the success of the enterprise is of course entirely problematical, I do not, and shall not regret the attempt.

This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore, Vol. 2: Folk Ballads From North Carolina This continuity will strike every reader and perhaps raise a critical question as to the editorial principles of inclusion in the present volumes. One answer has just been suggested. The other is more practical. Dr. Brown and his collaborators were still in the early stages of collecting; sifting was to follow. The General Editor, no doubt out of deference to Dr. Brown's methods, passed all the material on, as he has explained, to the Associate Editors, with responsibility to treat it as their judg ment Should dictate; and the Associate Editors, probably also out of deference to their predecessors, have sometimes applied the principle of exclusion with reluctance. And the present writer, last in succession, has in turn deferred to precedent as having neither authority nor competence to decide against his betters. The reader may therefore be grateful with the Psalmist, and also remember the words of another Teacher: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Red Swan's Neck: A Tale of the North Carolina Mountains "Th' boy'd better been t' home savin' his mammy all this trouble o' huntin' him," growled Snags Groucher, an aboriginal crone whose one protruding tooth was her only claim to immortality. "W'at ye talkin' about?" inquired the Rev. William Watchcob, a grey-haired mountaineer preacher, who had finished his "preachin'," and stood talking to a group of parishioners at the church door. He was somewhat out of sorts, notwithstanding his late lurid dissertation on original sin. The rain falling in gentle rhythm without held the few jarring members within doors. "I be talkin' erbout Gyp, that 'bominable wee Stybright cub who's alius givin' his daddy and mammy trouble," Snags replied with unnecessary glow in her sharp, resolute eyes. "It hain't Gyp, it's his daddy that's a doin' it all," snapped Judy Gans,"gettin' drunk an' chasin' his wife an' boy out'n th' house! That's th' ole man: I know him!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize-winning view of the continent, across the fortieth parallel and down through 4.6 billion years Twenty years ago, when John McPhee began his journeys back and forth across the United States, he planned to describe a cross section of North America at about the fortieth parallel and, in the process, come to an understanding not only of the science but of the style of the geologists he traveled with. The structure of the book never changed, but its breadth caused him to complete it in stages, under the overall title Annals of the Former World. Like the terrain it covers, Annals of the Former World tells a multilayered tale, and the reader may choose one of many paths through it. As clearly and succinctly written as it is profoundly informed, this is our finest popular survey of geology and a masterpiece of modern nonfiction. Annals of the Former World is the winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction.
