Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Story of Progress of the Queen City Charlotte: And Mecklenburg County North Carolina The writer has read about all that has been so beautifully written of the Mecklenburg Independence Celebration, 20th of May in Charlotte. Strange to say, he has failed to see where any historic treatment, however brief, has been given to the Thirteen Colonies, so foundationally connected with our great Republic and with the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. True, there was in the magnificent parade of the recent celebration, a gorgeous float, where on, in all their grace and beauty, sat as if enthroned, thirteen radiant maidens representing the Thirteen Colonies, but how many of the forty thousand spectators, especially the young folk, had any clear idea of the Colonies, the order of their settlement or even their names-history that every child should commit to memory. Since the Colony of North Carolina was one of the most important of the original thirteen, a brief mention of the Sisterhood is deemed pertinent and indeed necessary to a proper treatment of the matter in hand. Virginia, called "The Mother of States and Statesmen," was settled in A. D. 1607, and through the mist of time we can see Sir John Smith there at Jamestown, the founder of all the Smiths; and the lovely Indian Princess, Pocahontas, the ancestress of John Randolph of Roanoke and other F. F. V.´s of the "Old Dominion." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
