A history of colonial Sampson County, the plantatioins, slaves, and life as it was in the early days, early 1700s, and communities in the present.  Census records, graveyards, family stories, ghost tales, last wills and testaments and deeds of land owners....is your family there?
The Stories of Sampson County come alive in this historical account of life in this region of North Carolina from the mid 1700s through the Civil War. Meet local settlers who came to this area and learn how they lived, worked, farmed, and survived in the New World.

This account continues with descriptions of plantations, the life of slaves, and the transition to the post-Civil War era. Over 100 photographs allow the reader to enjoy the rich culture and surviving architectural displays throughout the county. This account is complete with selected census records, newspaper accounts, Last Wills and Testaments, and memories of past residents. Mostly just hard working folks making a living...the plantation owners, the farmers, the slaves, and life in Sampson County, NC.

Publishing Services:
 
Occasionally Coastal Books will assist another author to publish their works if it falls within the realm of good taste and
positive contribution to the world of reading.  We do not offer editing or mentoring services, so your manuscript needs to be in a final format.  All projects must be completed in a WORD format.  If interested, contact us for more information.  Costs are based upon services needed.       EMAIL
 
 
 
Check Back Often for Updates and new releases.....and an updated web site.

 
 
 
 
Ever wonder how authors write books...one step at a time and persistence.  Just get started....and work a little every day until you have completed your goal.  Some writers do extensive outlines...some record their thoughts on tape, then put to paper, some just sit down and write one word at a time.  The thing that works best for many is to be passionate about what you write, write about what you know, do your homework before you start writing, have an idea of what you want to accomplish with your work, and keep at it till it is done.  I never know how long my book is going to be until it's done.  Good luck to all you beginner writers and remember,
persistence will pay off with an end product.
