To a very special Pamlico County farmer, who at age 88, shared his valuable experiences not only of early tobacco harvests but also of having actually constructed a barn from logs, my sincere thanks. My deep appreciation to Mr. Fred May, for his many in-depth explanations which enhanced my understanding of tobacco curing and barn function and who provided me with the locations of many declining and unnoticed tobacco barns in Pamlico County. My appreciation is also extended to Mr. Sam Cox, Jr. of Greenville, North Carolina, and Mr. Beamon Busick of Busick Quail Farms in Burlington, North Carolina, for allowing me to visit and photograph their remodeled barns.
