"In Ancient Albemarle" by Catherine Albertson is a historical account published in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1910s. The work delves into the early colonial history of North Carolina, particularly focusing on the Albemarle region and its original inhabitants, settlers, and significant events that occurred there. It introduces key figures, such as George Durant, detailing their contributions to the establishment of the area and the transformation of local geography
from Native American names to colonial ones. The opening of the narrative paints a vivid picture of the Perquimans River and its natural beauty while also recounting the initial explorations and settlements made by European adventurers and settlers in the region. It specifically highlights George Durant’s pioneering spirit, noting his efforts to secure land and establish a permanent settlement after purchasing it from the local Native American chief. As the text continues, themes of early governance, conflicts with Indigenous people, and the emergence of community and commerce resonate, along with an exploration of the cultural landscape during those foundational years.
