For history buffs: William Byrd’s Histories of the Dividing Line Betwixt Virginia and North Carolina. “A Virginian aristocrat, landowner, author and governor, Byrd served as a commissioner in the 1728 survey conducted to establish the boundary between the two states. Byrd wrote two accounts of that expedition. The shorter Secret History of the Line is a badly stated, frank account in which the sharp antagonism among the members of the commission is wittily reported and the participants concealed behind mocking fictitious names. The more formal History of the Dividing Line contains invaluable notes on the botany and zoology of the area (complete enough a coverage to amount to an early natural history of this part of the country) and on the customs, superstitions, and ways of life of the Indians and the few white settlers. .. The two Histories can be -read as journals of wilderness exploration and adventuring, as social and natural history, or as the major work of one of the finest pre-Revolutionary writers in America.”
