Formed in 1873, Pamlico County is one of North Carolina's newest counties; yet, its rich history spans back to the time when only Native Americans inhabited the region.

This book contains eight chronological chapters: "Natural History and Native Americans," "Early Settlement and Colonial Period," "The Revolutionary War and Early National Period," "The Antebellum Era," "The Civil War," "Reconstruction and Birth of the County," "A New County in a Changing State," and "The County Comes of Age."

Nineteen black-and-white illustrations, a bibliography, and an index complete the text.
