Here is a source if you want to buy Powell's "North Carolina Gazetteer" Betty Pace --------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 08 Sep 2002 16:41:28 -0400 Subject: Re: [NCGuilford] NC Gazetteer Betty, I have a copy of the book mentioned above. On the back it gives a web site for the University of North Carolina Press "http://sunsite.unc.edu/unpress. The address is PO Box 2288 Chapel Hill NC 27515-2288. I do not remember where I ordered mine from, maybe Amazon. I feel sure it could be ordered from the University Press too. I have also found it to be very useful.
