Small tear on top jacket edge, ink gift note inside. 1999 Large Hardcover. xi, 227 pp. Carteret County, North Carolina was formed in 1722 out of Craven County. It…is named in honor of Sir John Carteret, who later became the Earl of Granville and one of the Lords Proprietors of North Carolina. Native inhabitants of the area were the Iroquois-speaking Tuscarora Indians. The Tuscarora Nation lived between the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers in eastern North Carolina. As early as 1706, white settlers of Huguenot, German, Scotch-Irish, French, and English descent arrived in the region. Most had migrated southward from northern American colonies rather than from Europe. Also, in 1721 Quakers from Rhode Island came in family units and settled on the north side of the Newport River. Beaufort, Carteret's county seat, is the third oldest town in North Carolina. It was first known appropriately as Fishtown because the fishing industry was and has been an important part of the county's history. Beaufort was later named for Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort. The largest plantations, given by grants or purchased, were in the central and western parts of Carteret County. Large land owners included Robert Williams, William Borden, and the Stanton family. Unlike other parts of North Carolina and Virginia, no large pillared houses were constructed in the county; the Williams' plantation home, for example, was brick and plain. Carteret County participated in global trade almost from its beginning. Plantations produced goods such as tobacco, grains, and salted meats and fish to export to England. Lumber was also a major export due to the area's vast forests. The most significant commercial industry was naval stores - tar, pitch, rosin, and turpentine. Portsmouth and Beaufort served as the county's major ports. Ships landed in Portsmouth, and workers transferred cargo to smaller boats for transport to the mainland. However, as its depth decreased, Portsmouth harbor declined as a port of entry, and the town was abandoned. Formal education was not a priority for the early settlers of Carteret County. Most children were preoccupied with working on the farms. Wealthier families usually sent their children outside the colony for advanced training. In the community of Hunting Quarters, however, the Scotch-Irish established the area's first school; it became the first accredited high school in the county. The first Anglican Church in Beaufort, St. John's Parish, was organized approximately in 1724. However, the increasing opposition of Baptists, Quakers, and other denominations contributed to the decreasing number of Anglicans in Carteret County. Carteret countians have witnessed war in their backyards. Many served in the Revolutionary War, and naval skirmishes occurred in the county's waters. Constructed between 1826 and 1834, Fort Macon was the site of a major battle during the Civil War. On April 25, 1862, Confederate troops surrendered the fort, and the Federal Government used Fort Macon as a prison following the war. Although most of the settlements were developed prior to the Civil War, Morehead City was not established until 1858. It started as a railroad town and eventually attracted tourists. Today, tourism has replaced agriculture and exporting as Carteret County's largest industry. - North Carolina History. Signed by author.

Seller: Rareeclectic, pound ridge, U.S.A.Rareeclectic
Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good Plus. 1st Edition. I've priced this rather rare book dramatically below the few others I've seen for sale. The reason: the absence of the doll that came with the original book ( it should be tucked into the slot you see on the front cover). It appears also have come in a box, although only one of the s…ellers referenced below have that box. The question becomes how much is this doll worth? Because by 'dramatically' I mean approximately $250.00 and up, way up. That's an expensive doll. The few other copies with the doll are priced at $500.00, $600.00 plus,$800.00 plus, and $900.00 plus. I've rated my book Good Plus. Overall, I think it's held up rather well, particularly considering the type of book it is and when it was published (1946). One can see why it has come to be as valued as it is. It's quite unusual and it's vividly illustrated by Mardi. As you can see from the first two photographs, the book opens up like an accordion, revealing a beautiful double-sided panorama, each side stretching out a full five feet. On one of the two sides, some of the paper has lifted up along the juncture between the pages. There are also a few instances where a little of this paper has been lost. On the other side, the junctures between the pages are in excellent condition, no paper lifting up and no loss. Note that in both cases, both sides, the solidity of the binding is not an issue. The lifting up and loss of paper is cosmetic, having nothing to do with the solidity of the binding. This book is very solidly bound, no looseness, no give, nothing. Otherwise, the condition of the pages (both sides) is very good. As you can see, the pages are very clean, the colors are not faded and there is very little other wear. However, the middle edges have some rub-through and some paper loss, particularly the one that forms with the rear cover of the book. No one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. Nor are there any markings. And, as you can see, there aren't any attachments. You can also see that the spine is quite slanted toward the rear. That's why you can see the page to the right of the front cover in the photograph. The slant has no bearing on the solidity of the covers. The covers are very strongly bound, without issue. You can also see what appears to be two tears on the front cover. In fact nothing is torn. But some sort of (I'm guessing) bump did cause the crease and thin loss of material. There is also some scuffing on the covers at the junctures with the spine, resulting in a little bit of loss of surface material, particularly at the top and bottom. The slot which once held the doll is in very good condition. And that is a pretty comprehensive description of the condition of the book. Take a look at the photographs. By the way, this is a story about a rag doll who has her first adventure in the real world with her family. Mardi (illustrator).
