Hugh Morton has had a long and active public life as an
environmentalist, developer, and promoter of tourism. His
favorite role, however, is that of news photographer. Hugh
Morton's North Carolina gathers hundreds of photographs
from his sixty-year career, including unpublished images
from his personal collection and many well-known images of
the state's people and places. The collection is divided into three sections. "Scenes"
ranges from the coast to the mountains, including many of
Morton's famous images of wildflowers, wildlife, and state
landmarks. "People and Events" features state and national
politicians, educators, business professionals, and media
figures. The "Sports" section reflects Morton's passion for
athletics, with a particular focus on college basketball
and football. Informative captions throughout the book
provide background on the people and places pictured as
well as Morton's reflections on the moments he captured on
film. As this collection reveals, Hugh Morton was on the scene
for some of the most important events in the history of
twentieth-century North Carolina, and he always carried his
camera with him. Lovers of North Carolina, both local and
distant, will all benefit from this richly personal state
portrait.
