Living Waters, a journey on the Trent River
Living Waters is the second volume of Ben Casey’s series documenting the major rivers of North Carolina (the first, All In One River, explored the Neuse River).

From there he paddles and portages along the river’s convoluted course through Jones County to its mouth, where the Trent empties into the Neuse River at New Bern. Read more about Living Waters.
