OM DENNE PODCAST 🔗

One of the first descriptions of North Carolina by the English that would later colonize the area was given by Ralph Lane, the governor of the first attempted colony. In 1585, Gov. Lane referred to the land as "the goodliest soil under the cope of heaven" in his letters back to England.
This podcast will tell the stories of its history, help people see the connections, not only between its "officials" but also between people that history either forgot or chose not to listen to.
We will tell their stories; the plantation owners, the enslaved people, the displaced native Americans...all of them

Coward of the County

Coward of the County

History books and courthouse lawns tell a simple story of the Civil War: blue versus gray, with honor tied strictly to the battlefield. But in Johnston County, the reality was far more complicated.

He stands at parade rest — chin up, eyes forward — with the posture of a man who doesn't yet know what's waiting for him. On the stone beneath his feet: forty-seven names. Buck Hill. Pearlie H. Ha…
