Raleigh Powder Mill and Its Remains
A historical reminiscence recalls North Carolina powder mills that produced cartridges and gunpowder for Confederate forces. The works, once near Raleigh, used local mills, faced shortages, and were praised for quality comparable to English powder. The plant blew up during the Federal advance, though the old mill building and dam survive as remnants.
