Published in 1877, this volume contains the history of the western portion of North Carolina with a focus on the revolutionary period.

Historical & biographical sketches of western North Carolina, illustrating principally the revolutionary period of Mecklenburg, Rowan, Lincoln and adjoining counties, accompanied with miscellaneous information, much of it never before published.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
