Pre-colonial beginnings established a town at the confluence of the Trent and Neuse Rivers known as New Bern. It later became part of Craven County. This is the story of the country from the early 18th century when Baron deGaffenried risked his fortune to create a permanent settlement in the New World. Over two hundred photographs show the people and the landscape. Many are archival, yet Frances Eubanks lent her photographs of modern times. Also included in the book are never before published archival photos of James City, Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station, and Tryon Palace
