Lost Towns of North Carolina
About this book
Forgotten History in the Tar Heel State
Take an adventure through ruins of ghost towns and lost communities in the Old North State. Explore isolated settlements like Lost Cove, hidden so deep in the mountains that no roads reach it. Ferry out to Portsmouth Island, where a ghost town has withstood multiple wars and generations of hurricanes. Explore the ruins of Brunswick Town, a port community of secret rebels destroyed in the Revolutionary War as punishment for "treason" against the British. Visit decaying remains in Snow Camp, a community that sheltered freedom seekers in the Underground Railroad.
Author Heather Leah details the lost and forgotten towns of North Carolina.
