Book Synopsis The Tar Heel State by : Milton Ready
Download or read book The Tar Heel State written by Milton Ready and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, illustrated history of North Carolina spanning from the colonial period to the twenty-first century. When first released in 2005, The Tar Heel State was celebrated as a comprehensive contribution to North Carolina’s historical record. In this revised edition, historian Milton Ready brings the text up to date, sharpens his narrative on the periods surrounding the American Revolution and the Civil War, and offers new chapters on the 1920s; World War II and the 1950s; and the confrontation between Jim Hunt, North Carolina’s longest-serving governor, and Jesse Helms, a transformational, if controversial, political presence in the state for more than thirty years. Ready’s distinctive view of the state’s history integrates tales of famous pioneers, statesmen, soldiers, farmers, and captains of industry; as well as community leaders with often-marginalized voices, including those of African Americans, women, and the LGBTQ+ community that have roiled North Carolina for decades. This beautifully illustrated volume gives readers a view of North Carolina that encompasses perspectives from the coast, the Tobacco Road region, the Piedmont, and the mountains. From the civil rights struggle to the building of research triangles, triads, and parks, Ready recounts the people, events, and dramatic demographic shifts since the 1990s, as well as the state’s role in the rise of modern political conservatism and subsequent emergence as a modern megastate. In a concluding chapter Ready assesses the current state of North Carolina, noting the conflicting legacies of progressivism and conservatism that continue to influence the state’s political, social, and cultural identities. “Ready provides a skillful and well-written addition to the state’s historical literature.” —Jeffrey Crow, author of New Voyages to Carolina: Reinterpreting North Carolina History” “An eminently readable, fast-paced, and thorough survey of North Carolina’s past.” —Alan D. Watson, University of North Carolina at Wilmington “A scholarly and compelling story of the divergent experiences of the state’s masses—full of interesting facts and details that are often absent in other studies on the same subject.” —Joyce Blackwell, president, The Institute for Educational Research, Development and Training “It is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the history of North Carolina and will be of immense benefit to those interested in the roles African Americans have played throughout the history of the state.” —Olen Cole Jr., North Carolina A&T State University

Book Synopsis History of North Carolina by : Francis Lister Hawks
Download or read book History of North Carolina written by Francis Lister Hawks and published by . This book was released on 1857 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis L. Hawks was born in New Bern, NC. He was a lawyer, Episcopal priest, and college president. According to the late North Carolina historian, Dr. Hugh T. Lefler, "He had the broadest scholarship and literary attainments of any of the nineteenth-century North Carolina historians. . . .his two-volume history is of high quality, scholarly, original, and according to a competent contemporary reviewer remarkably sound and accurate." Volume One reprints many rare and valuable documents including the Raleigh charter of 1584, Barlowe's narrative, the account of the Grenville expedition, and Thomas Hariot's narrative, all dealing with the four separate expeditions (1584-1590) sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh to settle "Virginia." Although these expeditions ended up on the North Carolina coast, they helped lay the groundwork for the first permanent settlement at Jamestown twenty years later. Hawks' second volume covers the political, social, and economic history of North Carolina during the Proprietary Period (1663-1729). Using a topical plan there are chapters, accompanied by documents, on exploration and settlement, law and its administration, agriculture and manufactures, navigation and trade, religion and learning, civil and military history, and manners and customs. Genealogists should find of particular interest the lists of approximately 800 freeholders as of 1723 in the Albemarle district. Present-day counties included in this area are: Chowan, Perquimans,Pasquotank, Currituck, Bertie, Beaufort, Hyde, Craven, and Carteret. While this is a history of North Carolina, there is considerable material relating to emigration of settlers from Virginia and later commerce with that neighboring state. There is also information on its relation to South Carolina when it was still a part of the Carolina colony. Owing to the lack of a major port, the point is made that the majority of North Carolina's first permanent settlers did not come directly from England and other parts of Europe but came from Virginia, New England, and Barbados. --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of North Carolina: From the Earliest Discoveries to the Present Time In the laborious years given to the preparation of this work, many wise and valued friends have aided in its progress. To none of these am I so largely obliged as to my excellent and tireless wife. To her affectionate and critical comments I am indebted for any literary excellence that may be found in the style and general treatment of the different epochs. To my kins man, Colonel John H. Wheeler, I am also largely indebted, not. Only for advice and unpublished material, but in his most val uable work on our State history I found a mine exhaustless in facts and figures 'to his brother, Dr. Samuel J. Wheeler, I am similarly obliged for rare and invaluable historic memoranda. I must return thanks also to my learned and gentle friend, Captain Samuel A. Ashe, who so nobly continues the virtues of his ancient family. His zeal in the vindication of North Caro lina is only equalled by his kindly and unselfish aid to me, who had so few'reasons to expect so much assistance. I would also return thanks to Messrs. George Davis and Henry N utt of \vil mington, and to Horatio Davis, Esq., of Chatham, Virginia, for similar favors. In the same way I have been laid under lasting obligations by General \v. R. Cox of \vake, and Mrs. John O. Askew of Hertford. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
