Edgecombe County is a unique combination of beautiful pastoral scenery
and strong, interesting
people. Communities like Pinetops, Whitakers, Speed, Leggett, and
Conetoe provide an excellent insight into the struggles and triumphs of
traditional
American small towns. In this highly anticipated
second volume, you will explore the social identity of Edgecombe County
by taking visual tours of several
historic neighborhoods, schools, and churches. As with any successful

military battlefronts, the playing fields of professional sports, and
the artistic community. This collection of images also honors the
countless men and women who persevered through the county's periods of

another in times of need and adversity.
