There is a cook book called Carolina Tobacco Country Cookbook that is not only a cook book but the history of tobacco country and that is what Bertie was at one time...Tobacco country! I KNOW, I was there. This book talks about a time between the Great Civil War and WWII but let me tell you , it describes Bertie the way it was until the late 1950's. I got mine at the museum in Bath, most museums in NC sell it for about $8 to $10. Amazon.com has it for sale from $11.88 to as high as $73. It even has medical advice....use juice from tobacco(chewing tobacco or snuff) for bee stings. Blow smoke in the ear for an earache. Reading it will take you to Bertie in the first half of the 20th century.

Now that book sounds worthwhile Claudia In a message dated 08/20/09 19:58:08 Eastern Daylight Time, puzlelady8109 writes: There is a cook book called Carolina Tobacco Country Cookbook that is not only a cook book but the history of tobacco country and that is what Bertie was at one time...Tobacco country!
