Because the farmland around the lake was so rich, early businessmen, even back into the colonial days, had the ambition of draining the lake to provide more rich-soil acreage and thus, create a profitable real estate venture. In this book, you will see first-hand all the intensive labor, both mental and physical, that went into the lake: from the first plans for drainage, the huge floating dipper dredges excavating the canals, the creation of the world's largest pumping plant (now Mattamuskeet Lodge), a company's city planning of New Holland, the introduction of the railroad, the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps in making the lake a waterfowl refuge, and throughout, the farming that has sustained Hyde County over the years.

teaches us and guides us from the past of this area into the new millennium. In this exciting new work, every one of the county's seventeen townships has been covered, with rare images dating primarily from the turn of the century to 1945. Mostly candid shots of people who have influenced Johnston's social, cultural, and economic development, these images bring us to a time when the pace of life was slower. Other, more well-known citizens we meet include film star Ava Gardner and Lunsford Richardson, inventor of Vick's VapoRub. Also featured in this book are images of important events, like the highly publicized, catastrophic munitions truck explosion near Selma in 1942.

Edgecombe County was recognized as a county in 1741; just over a century later it led the nation in cotton production and was well known as a forward-thinking and prosperous county of exceptional natural beauty. The tremendous changes ushered in by the Civil War and Reconstruction coincided with the development of photography. Photographers like S.R. Alley in Tarboro, who captured life in Edgecombe County on film in the crucial era covered here, were unknowingly recording history in a way that future
generations will be forever grateful for.

Topsail Island is a 26-mile barrier island, its pristine shores constantly shifting with the ebb and flow of the tides. This family-friendly beach - the kind we all loved as children and want our children's children to fondly remember, has always had a love affair with everything fishy - from piers to boats to businesses. In the late 1940s, the face of Topsail changed forever when the government seized the island for Operation Bumblebee, a top-secret mission to develop a supersonic missile. After the project ended, the three towns of Surf City, Topsail Beach, and North Topsail Beach grew and prospered. Bridges have played a huge part in Topsail's development, providing links to the rest of the world.

biggest little town on earth." From its modest beginnings in 1809
as a stagecoach stop, inn, and post office, it has recently developed
into one of the fastest growing towns in North Carolina. Mebane
has a long connection to the railroad, a legacy as one of the major
tobacco markets in the state, and a history as a major manufacturing
and shopping center. Over many decades, ordinary people and
forward-looking leaders fostered the town's growth by establishing
businesses, industries, good schools, a public library, various recreation
facilities, and other opportunities and services. The construction of
Interstates 85 and 40 brought many changes while linking Mebane
more closely to the outside world and making it an even more
attractive place in which to work and live.
