Now public for the first time, this remarkable book is probably the most complete source of concise information on everything historical along the Cape Fear. Plantations, forts, lighthouses, ferry crossings, shipwrecks, shipyards - along with 60 maps dating from 1585 (including twenty locator maps showing where all of these historic finds are located) and more than 250 other images.
