Native North Carolina : the what, why and where of Native American place names / by Kevin Reynolds.
Many towns, counties, mountains, rivers, and lakes in North Carolina trace their names to Native American sources -- whether legends surrounding the locations or simply the Native American's names for the places. In Native North Carolina, Kevin Reynolds records the oral tradition, folklore, and differing versions of how each place received its name and presents the most common and/or plausible source. The book, designed as a travel guide as well as a reference source, has photographs of many of the locations to entice armchair readers to acually visit the sites.-- Back cover.
