He is the longest-serving governor in the state's history. Hunt is tied for the fourth-longest gubernatorial tenure in post-Constitutional U.S. history at 5,840 days. From 1964 to 1966, Hunt was a Ford Foundation economic advisor in Nepal.

The speeches of Hunt have been lightly edited to assure consistency of spelling, capitalization, punctuation, use of numbers, and the like. Every effort has been made to identify individuals the first time they were mentioned. Texts or notes exist for more than 1,020 of the addresses James Baxter Hunt Jr. delivered during his third term as governor. Add to them the scores of news releases issued by his Press Office, and one has amassed a body of material too large to be reprinted in the single-volume documentary permitted each of the state's chief executive, per four-year term, by North Carolina law. The 254 items ultimately selected to appear in the Addresses of Hunt most comprehensively reflect the scope of the governor's official activities during the 1993-1997 period.
