Separate 500-word sidebars on diverse topics such as the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association; the North Carolina Historical Review; Town Creek Indian Mound; Tryon Palace; a purported "Daniel Boone homeplace"; and the discovery of what is believed to be Blackbeard’s flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, accompany the main text.
