Animals and People

Content:

This web page is set up in a timeline of NC history. What it contains are newspaper articles on the interaction of people and animals. Some of these stories are funny and other are sad. But most of all they are interesting and educating. Even though those articles are only about animals and people there is still a lot of history involved with them. Through them we get a chance to know the past, how people thought and what they did in various circumstances in relation to animals. We also get to learn how people spoke and how their vocabulary was different from nowadays.

Some of these stories are not from Western North Carolina, but have been published in the newspapers there. Those stories are interesting and give us ideas on what was also going on in other states. There is also a chance that similar things happened in North Carolina even though I did not find them in the newspapers here. If you know about any similar stories or any stories on animals and people then please e-mail me and let me know. My e-mail address is on the bottom of the Animal homepage.
