Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Address of the Hon. Wm; A. Graham: On the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, of the 20th of May, 1775; Delivered at Charlotte, on the 4th Day of Feb´y, 1875, by Request of the Citizens of Mecklenburg County; With Accompanying Documents, Including Those Published by Order of the Legis I deemed it proper not to participate in the controversy as to the credibility of this testimony while these witnesses were alive - the more especially as I thought the claim on the part of Mecklenburg well sustained by others. But those who championed the cause of the State (for it has been made a State matter) have all passed away - Martin, Jo. Seawell Jones, Foote, Hawks, are no longer among the living. The witnesses to whom I have alluded, and those others whose evidence was then taken, their comrades and neighbors, with whom they had passed through the fiery trials of the war which ensued, are all likewise dead. We may now speak of them without flattery, and, I trust, without vanity. If my connection with some of them shall induce a suspicion of bias on the one hand, unfavorable to impartial consideration, I hope it will be conceded on the other that it gave me opportunities of information in respect to their traditions, and to public opinion in the region of this occurrence, as far back as my memory extends, not accessible to strangers, and not possessed by many now surviving.
