Originally published in 1849, this delightful novel immerses the reader in the days leading up to the American Revolution as they were experienced in North Carolina, introducing a varied and fascinating cast of characters drawn from the traditions, legends, and documented history of the state.
The author, Calvin Henderson Wiley, was later superintendent of North Carolina schools (1853–1865) and can barely restrain his pedagogic instincts as he makes the case that North Carolina was where the Revolution actually started.
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence: The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence is a text published in 1819, supposedly signed on May 20, 1775, in Charlotte, North Carolina, by a committee of citizens of Mecklenburg County who declared independence from Great Britain after hearing of the battle of Lexington. If the story is true, the Mecklenburg Declaration preceded the United States Declaration of Independence by more than a year.
