Blockade runner, businessman, historian and philanthropist - James
Sprunt led a remarkable life. When he made his home along the brown
waters of the Cape Fear in southeastern North Carolina, he fell in
love with the rich history of the only river in the state with
direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. That geographical fact made
the Cape Fear and the towns that lined its banks the scenes of some
of North Carolina's most dramatic moments. James Sprunt witnessed
much of that exciting history himself, and knew many of the
characters who participated in those events. The things that
happened before he came along, Sprunt learned of and embraced
through his love of history. That love is evident in the pages of
the books he wrote about the Cape Fear's colorful past. When you
read a James Sprunt book, you can't help but feel the devotion he
had to the people and places along his beloved river. It is our
pleasure to bring together for the first time in one volume, two of
James Sprunt's most popular but hard to find books about the river
he loved. We've also included a delightful ghost story by Sprunt
that teaches about the Cape Fear's colonial past while chilling
your blood, and an essay by Dr. John Hampden Hill that delves into
the history of the many plantations that once lined the Cape Fear.
Nobody does Cape Fear history the way James Sprunt did!
