Poole’s Woods
By Carolyn Ritchie
Mr. William R. Poole, a promi
nent Wake County citizen, once
owned a 1600-acre tract of land
about five miles east of Raleigh,
Most of the land was covered with
dense woods. A lover of nature,
Mr. Poole rode a handsome white
horse through his forest, person
ally supervising the care of the
trees.
In the last terrible days of the
Civil War, as Yankee troops moved
through the South,’ destroying or
taking almost anything of value, a
group of blue-coated soldiers ap
peared one day at Mr. Poole’s
home. The visitors had heard that
gold was buried on his property.’
■ Mb. P'oole sat caltmly on Ms
porch as his uninvited, guests de
manded to know the location of
his gold. When he refused to dis
cuss the subject with them, they
mounted him on a fence rail and
rode him down the path to his corn
imill. Mr. Poole watched as his
mill went up in flames but still
refused to talk. Finally, the sol
diers began a random search of
the woods.
The searchers found no gold.
However, Mr. Poole’s favorite
white horse had been tethered in
a clearing of one of the deepest
areas of the forest. Hearing the
Yankee horses, he whinnied and
disclosed his hiding place. Mr,
Poole watched sadly as his beloved
white horse was ridden away by
a stranger in a blue coat.
Mr. Pole died in 1889 at the age
of ninety-three. For fnany years
after his death, due to certain pro
visions of his will, a large sec
tion of the forest which surround
ed his grave remained untouched
by axe or saw. Meanwhile tales
grew as tall as the trees. Many of
those who ventured near the area
came away to tell of a ghostly
white horse and rider who moved
through the dark recesses of the
woodland.
Foresters eventually moved into
Poole’s Woods, gradually chopping
away most of the ancient trees and
scattering the woodland creatures.
The land has been sold and re
sold, divided and redivided.
Streets and houses and power lines
cover the area. About all that re
main to remind one of the past are
Mr. Poole’s tombstone and the
stories.

Carl Sandburg’s death made me
feel as if I’d lost a friend, even
though I only met him once, about
ten years ago.
I was flying from Greensboro to
Asheville with my college room
mate, and our plane was ground
ed in Charlotte. A handful of dis
gruntled passengers stood around
the ticket counter wondering what
to do next. One of the passengers,
an old man with a shock of snow-

white hair and a silk scarf draped
around his neck, looked rather
lonely and lost. We went over, in
troduced ourselves, and asked if he
were going to Asheville, too. He
seemed amused and delighted, and
told us his home was in Flat Rock.
Then, of course, we knew who he
was and why his face was fa
miliar.
The airline arranged for a lim
ousine to drive us to Asheville.
There were six passengers: Mr.
Sandburg, a middle-aged woman
clutching a purse, umbrella, shop
ping bag, and other assorted para-
phanalia; a salesman sporting a
thin mustache and a shiny blue
suit; another college girl, my
roommate, and myself. The four
hour trip seemed like minutes,
with the famous poet entertaining
us all with his delightful yarns
and quick wit. We even sang for
awhile. Mr. Sandburg’s favorite
song was “Sweet ’Violets”, and he
led his off-key minstrels through
several rollicking choruses.
When we stopped for lunch in
Forest City, he introduced the
three students as a trio of singers,
and an article in the local paper
next day said, “He was traveling
with a group, some of whom were
singers .ifnom Flat Rock.” For
tunately, the reporter did not in
clude the outlandish names he had
given us.
It was a thrilling experience,
and I’ll always remember Carl
Sandburg, not only as a great poet,
but as one of the warmest, wittiest,
and most delightful men I’ve ever
met.
The fact that silence is golden
may explain why there’s so little
of it.
