However, I did not know of his publication. I will look for a copy. Thanks for the heads up.

Burke Jr., "The History of Portsmouth North Carolina, From Its Founding in 1753 to Its Evacuation in The Face of Federal Forces in 1861." Just came across it at our rental property on the island this week. It's noted as a 1958 thesis written in partial fulfillment for a bachelor of arts degree. Revised in 1976. Have just read bit. Will explore further. Seems an interesting read. And I took your advice and enjoyed shrimp and scallops this evening from Mr. Barrie.

With all the advances with farming best practices produced by our tax dollars funding university based research. The "new" farmer these days transplanted from a different country with different soil weather comditions etc knows not of these best practices and little by little due to ignorance the Dust Bowl scenario or Providence Canyon Georgia is around the corner. Perhaps, they read this blog and will learn a mind is a terrible thing to lay fallow.DDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
