Book Description
Excerpt from Master Plan, Raven Rock State Park The rock formation was originally named Patterson's Rock in the seventeen forties after its alleged discoverer, Gilbert Patterson. Patterson, a farmer from Buies Creek, was returning from a hunting expedition in the Deep River area in Lee County when his canoe capsized, and was washed ashore. With one leg broken, he managed to crawl to a shelter at the point now called Raven Rock. For more than a hundred years thereafter the area was known as Patterson's Rock. It was not until 1854, when the Cape Fear and Deep River Navigation Company began building locks and dams on the Deep River, that Patterson's Rock became known as Raven Rock. Ravens could be seen roosting on the rock ledges, thus the reason for the name change. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Now a 6-part mini-series called Why the Rest of Us Die airing on VICE TV! The shocking truth about the government’s secret plans to survive a catastrophic attack on US soil—even if the rest of us die—is “a frightening eye-opener” (Kirkus Reviews) that spans the dawn of the nuclear age to today, and "contains everything one could possibly want to know" (The Wall Street Journal). Every day in Washington, DC, the blue-and-gold first Helicopter Squadron, codenamed “MUSSEL,” flies over the Potomac River. As obvious as the Presidential motorcade, most people assume the squadron is a travel perk for VIPs. They’re only half right: while the helicopters do provide transport, the unit exists to evacuate high-ranking officials in the event of a terrorist or nuclear attack on the capital. In the event of an attack, select officials would be whisked by helicopters to a ring of secret bunkers around Washington, even as ordinary citizens were left to fend for themselves. “In exploring the incredible lengths (and depths) that successive administrations have gone to in planning for the aftermath of a nuclear assault, Graff deftly weaves a tale of secrecy and paranoia” (The New York Times Book Review) with details "that read like they've been ripped from the pages of a pulp spy novel" (Vice). For more than sixty years, the US government has been developing secret Doomsday strategies to protect itself, and the multibillion-dollar Continuity of Government (COG) program takes numerous forms—from its potential to evacuate the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to the plans to launch nuclear missiles from a Boeing-747 jet flying high over Nebraska. Garrett M. Graff sheds light on the inner workings of the 650-acre compound, called Raven Rock, just miles from Camp David, as well as dozens of other bunkers the government built for its top leaders during the Cold War, from the White House lawn to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado to Palm Beach, Florida, and the secret plans that would have kicked in after a Cold War nuclear attack to round up foreigners and dissidents and nationalize industries. Equal parts a presidential, military, and cultural history, Raven Rock tracks the evolution of the government plan and the threats of global war from the dawn of the nuclear era through the War on Terror.

Book Description
Excerpt from Chimney Rock State Park Master Plan: April, 2011 Three initial design alternatives were publicly presented in May 2010. The alternatives differed primarily in the extent of development proposed (see Chapter 8: Proposed Park Alternatives). The public was invited to attend an open house meeting held at the Town of Lake Lure. Public comment was also received via us. Mail and email. All comments received were compiled and are part of this master plan. The input received was instructive and was used to guide the master planning effort. A draft master plan was developed to incorporate public comment and staff input. Upon completion of the draft master plan, a second public comment period commenced on November 29 and concluded on December State parks staff and the planning team also made a presentation of the draft master plan to the Chimney Rock State Park Advisory Committee. Finally, this master plan was developed in response to a specific program of public access, natural resource protection, and use that is consistent with other North Carolina State Parks. The planning team also took into consideration the unique opportunities and constraints of the Hickory Nut Gorge region. The master plan is based upon the best mapping data available at the time of its preparation (see Resources and References: Di gi tal Mapping Data). This data is not survey quality; therefore, more detailed soil, geotechnology, topographic, hydrological, ecological and other studies may be warranted in future phases of design in order to fully assess feasibility. Since planning is a dynamic process, the availability of more detailed information over time may result in a final built product that is different than that depicted in this master plan.
