In 1725, Maurice Moore convinced his friends and family from the
Goose Creek section of South Carolina to relocate to North
Carolina's Cape Fear River and build their own settlement. The
Moores quickly laid out a new town called Brunswick that would
become the colony's only port with direct access to the Atlantic
Ocean. Over the course of its existence, Brunswick was raided by
Spanish privateers, sacked by British redcoats, and was home to
some of the leading figures in colonial and Revolutionary War North
Carolina. Two Royal Governors made their home there, and one of the
earliest rebellions against English rule were acted out at
Brunswick. During the Civil War, Fort Anderson was built on the
ruins of the colonial town. After the fall of Fort Fisher in 1865,
Fort Anderson became the last obstacle to the Union occupation of
the port of Wilmington, further up the Cape Fear River. In this
book, Franda D. Predlow and Jack E. Fryar, Jr. have put together a
beginner's primer that initiates history lovers into the rich past
of one of North Carolina's most significant historic sites.
