Reminiscences and Memoirs of North Carolina and Eminent North Carolinians

Description

Essentially a continuation of Wheeler’sHistorical Sketches of North Carolina from 1584 to 1851, this scarce work contains extensive genealogies of over sixty-five eminent families, with reminiscences of their times and additional biographical and historical material. Once again, chapters are arranged by counties in alphabetical order, with sixty-two of the early counties treated, largely from the viewpoint of family history. Further information is given in two separate articles by other authors: “North Carolina in the Colonial Period,” by Daniel R. Goodloe; and “Early German Settlers in Eastern Cabarrus County,” by Gen. Rufus Barringer.
