The History of the Dividing Line, A Journey to the Land of Eden, is an account by William Byrd II of the surveying of the border between the U.S. states of North Carolina and Virginia in 1728. This story was considered a minor humorous masterpiece.[citation needed] William Byrd was the chief representative from Virginia, and Edward Moseley was the chief representative from North Carolina. Byrd also compiled a "Secret History" of the work. Byrd's text is also the locus of David Gatten's film project, also titled The Secret History of the Dividing Line.
