Book excerpt: In this lively two-part narrative, Carole W. Troxler and William M. Vincent place the legacy of Alamance County solidly in the context of regional and national history. Using a broad social scope and the conventional break at 1865, they connect themes and stories across that artificial line. The resulting threads link pre-Civil War divisions with the post-Emancipation violence that made the area the storm center of the state in the 1870s. Thereafter, recovery and renewal depended on leadership, education, and especially labor -- the constant back-and-forth motion of the shuttle across the loom and its parallel, the plow along the furrow.Shuttle & Plow spans more than three centuries, twice the age of the county carved from western Orange County in 1849. The greater Alamance story includes cultural changes over time, including religious dynamics that came to distinguish much of Southern life. Economic currents begin with deerskin trade and the impact that Native American trading paths had on where new arrivals settled. Methods of farming and home manufacturing are explored, along with the functions of crossroads trading and manufacturing centers before the coming of the railroad. After the Civil War, transitions to wage labor and commercial farming reinforced the rise and domination of textiles. Refinements and adjustments in the textile industry and farming are a major twentieth century theme, along with increasing economic diversity. Changes in labor relations and race relations are important features of the county's social heritage.Shuttle & Plow reveals previously untold stories, many in the words of their actors. Its research grasped longstanding thorns, such as the controversial reputation of a Quaker abolitionist/slave owner and the identity of Wyatt Outlaw. Since the book's 1999 publication, its depth and documentation are encouraging learners and established scholars alike to research further into this microcosm of the American South that is Alamance County. North Carolina Libraries calls the book ?a scholars dream . . . and one of the finest county histories in the nation. . . . Shuttle & Plow sets the standard.' The Alamance County Historical Association is pleased to reissue it for a broader market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Alamance That our American Republic sprang into life fullformed like Pallas from the head of Zeus seems miraculous, but there is nothing wonderful about either. Both England and Zeus, you know, had been troubled with head pains. The English Church and Presbyterianism were significant. Runnymede, Magna Charta, the strength of the Anglo-saxon speech against the French and the Latin, the Cornish and the Celt, attest to the elasticity and might of the English consciousness. Every bill of rights foretold a possible America. Moore's Utopia was like an index finger pointing to Columbia, "The land of every land the pride." But to see things in their general light is easier than to dissect and vivisect particularly. And it might be pleasanter to write a history of the Feejee Islanders, than to sit down among a people whose conflicting opinions have become a matter of history, and to try to tell the truth, absolute, unprejudiced. An account of the Indians is given, in the first place, for the children; again, because they were the former landowners. Haw River took its name from them. Alamance, in Indian speech, they say, means all men's land, a universal sort of country; and indeed it well might be so named; Governor Morehead called the lovely sloping fields between Stinking Quarter Creek and the Big Alamance, his Eden. An Indian grave-yard has been found, not far from Glencoe; the skeletons show them to have been buried in a sitting position.

Download or read book Alamance written by Bess Beatty and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1837, Edwin M. Holt -- a thirty-year-old, fourth-generation North Carolinian -- established a small spinning mill on his family's land along the Haw River in rural Orange County. By his death in 1884, Holt's small spinning mill had come to dominate the textile industry in Alamance County -- which divided from Orange County in 1849 -- and gave the area an industrial legacy that would last for generations. Covering the Holt dynasty from the founding of the Alamance Factory in 1837 to the strike of 1900 that eventually shut down most of the family's mills, Alamance provides an excellent social history of southern industrial development. Bess Beatty intersperses chapters on the rise of the Holts with profiles on their workers to provide a thorough explanation of how industrialization affected sectional, familial, racial, and gender relations across class lines. Focusing on class formation and conflict, she rejects the long-held view that southern owners were paternalistic and that workers were docile and deferential, instead arguing that owners and workers had a contentious class-driven relationship, with both sides striving to maximize their economic success. Moreover, while Beatty shows that slavery, secession, war, defeat, and postbellum race relations influenced the development of southern industry, she maintains that industrialization in the South was not fundamentally different from that in other regions of the country. Alamance's story of southern industrial power makes an outstanding contribution to the history of southern communities and will fascinate those interested in the region, as well as students of social, business, and labor history.
