This volume contains the original drafts for two articles concerning the history behind the "Legend of Joe Baldwin." An accident did occur in the area of Hoods Creek (near present-day Maco) involving a conductor named Baldwin, but his name was Charles Baldwin. The first article was prepared for the Wilmington Railroad Museum Website in 2002. The second article was published in the "Bulletin of the Historical Society of the Lower Cape Fear" in 2004. An article by Star News (Wilmington, NC) staff reporter Ben Steelman that referenced this article introduced the research to researchers across the web in the same year.
