Author Signed - Dated & Personally Inscribed - Coastal North Carolina History

Cap’n Dell’s Stories by William Odell Spain is a collection of humorous, nostalgic, and historically valuable stories about growing up and living in Pamlico County, North Carolina, in the 1920s–1940s. Through memories of families, neighbors, work, travel, entertainment, and local customs, Spain shows how dramatically everyday life has changed. The book’s greatest value is its preservation of the voices and experiences of ordinary coastal North Carolinians and the close-knit community in which they lived.
