From Our Readers

Moonshine & Motorsports

I thoroughly enjoyed this article and want to follow the trail (“A Lightning-Fast History,” July 2023, page 18). Your writing is spot-on, and the level of detail is informative without becoming overdone. Thanks!

Shared Memories

Thank you, Carolina Country, for allowing Dorothy Steele and others to send in memories (“I Remember: My Cousins and Summer,” January 2012, page 23). LOVE IT! That’s me, with the hairnet on (back, middle)! And my brother in front, and all others are my cousins! I just broke down and cried!

THIS MONTH: Preserving History

From the mountains to the coast, North Carolina has a rich history that we often enjoy exploring in the pages of Carolina Country. This month, we’re highlighting landmarks along two historical corridors that have important connections to African American history in our state: the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor (page 10) and the Network to Freedom national trail (page 24). Also, it’s been a busy summer for NC Youth Tourists — share in some of their adventures on page 7.
