Book Description

ISBN-10: 0807812471 | ISBN-13: 978-0807812471 | Publication Date: April 8, 1976

Coldass Creek. Devils Elbow. Whim Knob. Mush Island. Here in one thick volume are 20,000 entries that locate the geographical features of North Carolina—counties, towns, cities, rivers, creeks, lakes, mountains, gaps, ridges, bays, sounds, inlets. All are listed and in many cases the derivation of the name and additional historical data are included. The North Carolina Gazetteer is a fascinating and indispensable reference for Tar Heels (and those who wish they were), tourists, students, historians, geographers, journalists, and genealogists.

Editorial Reviews

Review

There is no state glossary for the Atlantic Seaboard . . . that can compare in quality with . . . Powell's glossary of North Carolina.

Raven I. McDavid Jr., University of Chicago

The book is practically a 'must' for anyone interested in the state's geography or history.
