Sanford and Lee County
Located near the geographic center of North Carolina, the Lee County area has been defined by transportation for the past two centuries. From river navigation along the Deep and Cape Fear Rivers to early plank roads, crisscrossing railroad lines, and major U.S. highways, this area has seen countless travelers come and go by boat, car, horse, buggy, train, and motor vehicle. Along the way, a number of the travelers settled, and communities formed. Through the efforts of leaders from communities such as Jonesboro and Sanford, a new county was formed in 1907-1908. Lee County was the 98th county formed in North Carolina, and despite its relatively small land area, it has a rich and vital history.
Murder on the Florida Frontier: The True Story behind Sanford's Headless Miser Legend
Archie Newton stepped off the river steamer in 1880 with a letter of introduction and a secret. Seeking refuge, the young Newton hoped for a new life on the Florida frontier. Samuel McMillan was a miserly Sanford bachelor who carried large sums of "greenbacks" and trusted no one. The ambitious Newton had his eye on purchasing McMillan's profitable orange grove. But on his way back from Newton's home one evening, McMillan disappeared, and he wasn't seen again until his headless, mutilated corpse was pulled from a nearby lake. Newton's trial was sensational and the evidence gruesome, and local legends grew of a headless ghost rising from the lake. Author Andrew Fink chronicles the twists and turns of this shocking story.
Summary of Matthew W. Sanford's Waking
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I am a yogi, and I have been teaching yoga for more than 25 years. I am always looking for inspiration, a burst of how a particular yoga pose feels. I am unable to feel my own paralyzed body, but I can feel the buzz of my wheelchair as I move it around. #2 I have achieved a level of awareness that is so subtle, it seems so ordinary. I am not walking, nor do I feel courageous, but I have worked hard for such a moment. It has taken patience and a willingness to feel vulnerable. #3 I had begun to fight against the respirator, the machine that was keeping me alive. I had become vaguely aware of certain sounds, try to hold my breath, fail, and then float back into the comforting silence. But eventually, my efforts became a source of panic. #4 The death of my father and sister hardly registered - I took it in as a piece of information. Instead, I stayed locked on the feeling that my remaining family needed me to live. I did not grasp the threat to my continued existence, and then rally to beat the odds.

Summary of Carol Sanford's The Regenerative Life
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The non-heroic path seeks change by enabling people to transform themselves. When we choose this path, we function like a helpful virus, one that fosters the vitality and immune system of the host while at the same time protecting against harmful viruses. #2 When we are in this situation, we become victims of our own lack of perspective. We can see the merits of our own point of view, but we struggle to understand and accept the merits of the opposition’s. #3 Levels of engagement are the different levels of performance that athletes develop over time. They shift to a new level of performance, as well as a new scope with which they consider their performance, as they mature. #4 The Levels of Paradigm framework is a tool that can be used to understand the different levels of paradigms and the implications of these levels on the quality of the effects that flow from our choices and actions.
