"A lot of people are surprised the river goes that far," Mims said. "I have actually gone all the way to the ocean before…Fayetteville being a port city is the only reason Fayetteville is even here." e river's access to the ocean is what made Gould's escape possible. On that fateful night, Gould led the escape, joined by seven others: George Price, John Mitchell, Charles Giles, John Mackey and his brothers, Joseph Hall and Andrew. Under the cloak of darkness the eight men traveled with their boats sail furrowed, to avoid detection from the lookouts posted at the nine different forts they would have to pass. e eight men knew that if caught, the punishment could range from whipping, beating, branding, imprisonment or even lynching. And that was assuming they survived the water and the rain. Of all nights for it to rain... "In the early days, it certainly was dangerous," Mims said of crossing the river. "In the early days, the Cape Fear River was like the state highway. It was the fastest way to travel, so there were all sorts of boats on it, and they would run aground sometimes. In severe weather, you can just imagine the difficulty people had. But now we know when the storms are coming and where they are. I have pretty much taken any risk out of it. Plus, I've been educated and trained by the United States Coast Guard. People usually only get in trouble now if there is a guy involved named Budweiser." ose riding with Mims are welcome to bring whatever drinks or food they like. ough there will be bathrooms at the various stops along www.faytechcc.edu/continuing-education/corporate-industry-training/ FTCC CORPORATE & CONTINUING EDUCATION Train for a new career in the cosmetic arts field! • Barber Training (May 1st) • Cosmetology (May 15th) • Manicuring and Nail Technology (May 15th) Scholarships may be available for select programs!
