We all know how important Fort Bragg is to the economy of North Carolina and the defense of the United States. Very few people are aware, however, that across this vast military reservation, there are numerous historic sites of American Indians, and of early Scottish settlers who spoke Gaelic. Fort Bragg, the home to some our nation’s most elite military units, is also home to a number of important plant and animal communities that are well protected and preserved by the military.
In this episode, Exploring North Carolina goes on a behind-the-scenes tour of some of the most ecologically and historically significant locations at Fort Bragg with the archeologists and scientists who know it best.
