This volume is a geography of one of the most affluent counties in North Carolina, home of Pinehurst and Southern Pines, golfing mecca of the eastern United States. In this book, Ross provides a section on the historical background of the county, followed by chapters on the physical geography (geology, surface drainage, lakes, groundwater, soils, forests, climate and weather); population and housing; economic activities, recreational and historical sites; government and education. Malcolm Owings, chairman of the Moore County Commission, wrote in the foreword to this volume that the book is "An Atlas, yes. A textbook, yes. An important information resource, certainly! But really so much more!The newcomer, the old timer, the business person, the tourist and the historian, yes, all of us, will find this Eclectic Portrait of a Southern County a must for our personal library."
