About this book
The book In ancient Albemarle by Catherine Albertson includes verses called The Perquimans River, in which the river says "Down to the sea I take my way." The dedication to Mary Hilliard Hinton, State Regent Daughters of the Revolution, says these chapters would never have been written without that aid and encouragement.
The text says that "not until 1661 is there any authenticated record of a permanent settlement in North Carolina." A planter from Virginia named George Durant is described as setting out on an exploring expedition after hearing enthusiastic accounts of desirable lands to the south. The text names the battle of Great Bridge as the event that defeated Dunmore in his purpose. Joseph Hewes is described as sending his own ships to the West Indies to obtain necessaries for the army.
