From Blackbeard to Daniel Boone, the Lost Colony to Fort San Juan, Algonquian to Cherokee, the waterways of North Carolina are home to a unique blend of historical adventures. Much of our remaining colonial wilderness can best be accessed by canoe or kayak, and this book will assist the reader in their voyage to uncover and experience that which is awaiting discovery. In contrast to traditional guidebooks, Pioneer Paddling Colonial Carolina maintains a focus on family-oriented wilderness experiences, presented within the historical context through which they unfold. From the eastern seaboard to the land of the sky, opportunities abound for a few simple strokes of the paddle to take you and yours back to a simpler time. Your journey awaits. William D. (Bill) Auman grew up in Johnston County, southeast of Raleigh and about 90 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. He moved to the Appalachian mountains in 1986, and resides with his wife Elizabeth at their home on the French Broad River in Madison County, just north of Asheville. The bandana in the photo may be his favorite form of hat, but he continues to wear many others. Perhaps best known as a trial and appellate attorney, he is a former USPTR tennis professional, and has spent years working part-time as a high school basketball and tennis coach. He presently serves as an adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina-Asheville, in addition to maintaining a law practice with offices in Asheville and Marshall.
