'Forgotten Patriots' discussed at lecture series

While history books recount The Battle of Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, The Battle of Trenton and Yorktown, the efforts of Revolutionary War Patriots who served from the southern states and the contributions of patriots from areas like northeastern North Carolina are often neglected. Bill and Chris Barber sought to rectify that with their new book, “Forgotten Patriots of the Albemarle,” and a lecture on Oct. 9 at the historic 1767 Chowan County Courthouse. The lecture was part of the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library’s Armchair Travelers Series in conjunction with Edenton State Historic Sites. Chris Barber, a retired educator, and Bill Barber, a retired professional forester, have created second careers with their research in local topics like the region’s massive timber industry of the early twentieth century, moonshine in the Albemarle region and now a long-overdue examination of the role northeastern counties of North Carolina played in the Revolution. Chris Barber said that historians understandably tell the stories of the biggest battles and of troops from the most populous colonies, but she said the story is bigger than that. “History lives in ordinary places,” she said. The Barbers’ research and subsequent book identified more than 700 patriots associated with the Edenton Military

This North Carolina Church Holds A Nearly 50 Year Old Crucifixion Fresco That Looks Almost Three Dimensional

I expected a simple little mountain church. Instead, I found a painted figure of Jesus that seems to lean right out of the wall behind the altar. The effect is almost unsettling in its realism, especially once I learned the image was painted directly onto wet plaster in the 1970s using true fresco technique.
