The Copperline Chronicles: A History of the Kings Mill-Morgan Creek Neighborhoods

by Carl Anderson, Thomas Jepsen (Editor), Scott Madry

Overview

The Kings Mill-Morgan Creek History Project began in June 2014 with a request on
our email listserv for neighbors to share their favorite stories and
memories about life in the neighborhood. Soon we began hearing from
people from all over the country who had grown up in the neighborhood
and moved elsewhere, but still treasured memories of the time they had
spent here. In September 2015, we did a presentation on the neighborhood
at a meeting of the Chapel Hill Historical Society; out of that
presentation came the idea for this book, which comprises thirteen
chapters covering the neighborhood's natural history, architecture,
notable residents, and organizations, as well as our favorite
neighborhood stories.

Editorial Reviews

One of the most ecologically diverse and stunning neighborhoods in Chapel Hill, the area known as Kings Mill-Morgan Creek, has been home to all kinds of celebrities, from Dean Smith, who invented basketball as we know it, to singer/songwriter James Taylor, who reinvented what it meant to be a singer-songwriter. His lovely song "Copperline" was inspired by Morgan Creek, the neighborhood he grew up in.
