Description  
Blessed with lush, rural landscapes and small-town charm, Pitt
County possesses a history that typifies the traditional Southern
experience. Once a major cotton producer, the area farmers
transformed their cotton harvests in the late 1880s into tobacco,
still a cash crop today in the community. Just as Pitt County is a
center for both farming and education today, this volume, with over
125 images, focuses on the importance of flue-cured tobacco and
learning institutions, such as the East Carolina Teachers Training
School, a predecessor of East Carolina University.
Pitt County: Eastern Reflections is a visual tour into the county's
past, primarily the early twentieth century, when horse and buggy
shared road space with the early automobile, when students of all
ages studied in one-room schoolhouses across the countryside, and
when the main streets were flooded with wagons full of cotton
and tobacco on market days. You will meet early Pitt County
families, relax on front-porch rocking chairs, watch parades pass
by along downtown streets, and view beautiful homes and farms in
communities like Greenville, Farmville, and Bethel.
