To aid Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, a portion of all proceeds from books sold on our website in October will be donated to the American Red Cross.

In celebration of the vibrant history and culture of Appalachia, we've collected nearly 350 books on the history of affected communities that we hope you will consider adding to your collection and further supporting the victims of Helene.

Edgecombe County, in the coastal plains of North Carolina along the Tar River, was once home to the Tuscarora tribes and was founded by English immigrants from Virginia. The county swelled as an agricultural center in the cotton and textile industries, bolstered by a wealth of lumber and sustained by a thriving inland river port and railroad. Though the residents struggled through natural, industrial, and economic upheaval, their courage and fortitude endured these hardships and unified their community.

Agricultural hub and industrial powerhouse, the town flourished along the railroad and gained prominence as a bustling trading post. Greer has braved market manipulation, commercial competition, and agricultural decimation, but strives even today to preserve the continuity of its community identity.
