  • An Historical Overviw of the Beaufort Inlet Cape Lookout Area of North
    by June 21, 1982 You can stand on Cape Point at Hatteras on a stormy day and watch two oceans come together in an awesome display of savage fury; for there at the Point the northbound Gulf Stream and the cold currents coming down from the Arctic run head- on into each other, tossing their spumy spray a hundred feet or better into the air and dropping sand and shells and sea life at the point of impact. Thus is formed the dreaded Diamond Shoals, its fang-like shifting sand bars pushing seaward to snare the unwary mariner. Seafaring men call it the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Actually, the Graveyard extends along the whole of the North Carolina coast, northward past Chicamacomico, Bodie Island, and Nags Head to Currituck Beach, and southward in gently curving arcs to the points of Cape Lookout and Cape Fear. The bareribbed skeletons of countless ships are buried there; some covered only by water, with a lone spar or funnel or rusting winch showing above the surface; others burrowed deep in the sands, their final resting place known only to the men who went down with them. From the days of the earliest New World explorations, mariners have known the Graveyard of the Atlantic, have held it in understandable awe, yet have persisted in risking their vessels and their lives in its treacherous waters. Actually, they had no choice in the matter, for a combination of currents, winds, geography, and economics have conspired to force many of them to sail along the North Carolina coast if they wanted to sail at all!¹ Thus begins David Stick’s Graveyard of the Atlantic (1952), a thoroughly researched, comprehensive, and finely-crafted history of shipwrecks along the entire coast of North Carolina.

  • Eastern N.C. Civil War Shipwrecks
    EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA CIVIL WAR SHIPWRECK DISTRICT: STATEMENT OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE By Wilson Angley - 3 December 1991 • Eastern North Carolina Civil War Shipwreck District: Statement of Historical Significance by Wilson Angley 3 December 1991 Research Branch Division of Archives and History • North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources As the nation approached ever closer to the precipice of • civil war, the majority of North Carolina's citizens and public officials persisted in the hope that mounting sectional differences would somehow be resolved and that military conflict CQuid be averted. Although Tar Heels were dismayed and alarmed by Abraham Lincoln's election to the presidency in November of 1860, popular sentiment in the state remained overwhelmingly in favor of preserving the Union if at all possible. On the whole, North Carolinians were content to "watch and wait" while events unfolded. Even as late as 28 February 1861, the state's voters narrowly defeated a plan to hold a convention to consider secession. It was only after the firing on Fort Sumter and Lincoln's call for troops to "coerce" the seceded states that North Carolinians resolved at last to leave the Union and cast their lots with the Confederacy. When the legislature convened in special session, it quickly called for a convention to consider secession, refusing to hold a second referendum on the question and denying the voters of the state any opportunity to approve or repudiate the convention's actions. When the ensuing convention met in Raleigh on 20 May 1861, the state's ordinance of secession was adopted unanimously. North Carolina's fate would now be decided with that of the Confederacy as a whole.

Since this is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, however, I wish to take another tack. Has anyone checked the passenger list of that grand ship for veterans of the War and provided vignettes of their fates? There surely were late 60ish and older men aboard who survived the war only to deal with that cold water 100 years ago this month.

Stanford III October 2015 (Revised June 2017) 1 | CARTERET COUNTY HISTORICAL GAZETTEER Introduction to Carteret County Geography has created two separate demographic areas within Carteret County: Eastern Carteret County is the peninsula formed between Core Sound on the south and the Neuse River on the north, lying east of the Newport River. It is the home of Beaufort, the county’s governmental and historical center. Further east, this area is sub-divided by numerous creeks, bays, and wetlands It includes the communities of Merrimon and South River on the south shore of the Neuse River and over a dozen communities on the north shore of Back and Core Sounds, strung out along U.S. 70 and N.C. 12. east of North River. Western Carteret County consists of another peninsula, north of Bogue Sound, between the Newport River in the east and the White Oak River in the west, south of the Neuse River and the Craven County boundary. This area was home to substantial agricultural operations for many years and, with the coming of the railroad, became the site of Morehead City. This part of the county is the home of the Croatan National Forest and includes the communities of Cape Carteret, Bogue, and Cedar Point; a broad semi-rural area centered on the town of Newport; and the communities of Harlowe, Peletier, and Stella to the north. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2010 the county encompassed 1,341 square miles, of which 506 square miles were dry land.

David McGee’s article provides a con- cise account of the regiment’s actions and move- ments during that time. Glimpses of daily life are found in the letters of Thomas and Eli Setser to the folks back in Caldwell County. Letters writ- ten by two other soldiers in 1861 appeared during the preparation of the article and are included as appendices to the Setser letters. Finally, the regiment is indebted to Paul Branch, the ranger historian at Fort Macon, for his authoritative ac- count of the defense of Fort Macon by the small Confederate garrison.

  • Timeline 1862 1
    CIVIL WAR TIMELINE 1862 1 January Letters and editorials are full of thoughts about what is to be done with slaves, should they win their freedom. Most seem to favor the idea of returning them to tropical climates elsewhere – Haiti or Liberia, for example. Jan. 1 The Memphis Appeal reports on the resignation of Gen. Gideon Pillow and describes his emotional good-bye to his troops. Pillow, who has resigned after a dispute with Gen. Leonidas Polk, will reconsider his resignation a few days later and will be reinstated by Jefferson Davis. “ TN “Every preparation is being made to fasten the yoke of bondage upon the beautiful & chivalrous Southern country, but our people are determined to be forever free & independent of the Northern fanatics & tho the war may be long & bloody we will never submit.” [William L.B. Lawrence Diary] Jan. 3 TN Confederate troops in Greenville, TN, hang two East Tennesseans who were caught burning the Lick Creek bridge . Jan. 5 TN Brig. Gen. Zollicoffer sends out a proclamation to the state of Kentucky explaining that his continuing presence in Kentucky is not to invade them but to protect them from incursions by abolitionists and other “Northern hordes.” Jan. 6 Arson in several Southern cities leaves enormous devastation behind: Charleston has $12,000,000 damage; Montgomery is “fired in six different places by slaves”; a million dollars of commissary stores in Nashville are destroyed; a fire in Norfolk flattens the Custom-house, the post office, and a number of other buildings; public buildings in Richmond, a powder-mill in New Orleans, and the entire town of Greenville, Alabama, are burned.
