The first North Carolina Historic Site, Town Creek Indian Mound is a prehistoric Native American archaeological site built by the Pee Dee, a South Appalachian Mississippian culture people.

“Town Creek Indian Mound is an unusual phenomenon in the history of North American archaeology. While most archaeological sites are investigated for a few years before archaeologists move on to new locations, Town Creek, situated on Little River (a tributary of the Great Pee Dee in central North Carolina), has been the focus of a consistent program of archaeological research for more than half a century” (Town Creek Mound Website).

Let’s get together on Zoom and discuss this great book:

“White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel” (Amazon).

Let’s get together, eat some great Italian food and discuss this riveting book about ”a brave and enduring woman as indomitable as Ernest Gaines’ legendary Miss Jane Pittman, in a breathtaking novel that combines the epic romance and adventure of Outlander, the sweeping drama of Roots, and the haunting historical power of Barracoon” (Amazon).
