Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences and Memoirs of North Carolina: And Eminent North Carolinians My Esteemed Sir - Your recent letter as to "The Address on the Early Times and Men of Albemarle," has been received. For the kind opinion, that "the people of the State and especially those of the Albemarle County, owe a debt of gratitude for this and other contributions to their history,´ I sincerely thank you. Your letter further adds, that you "have seen in the Raleigh Observe, a handsome tribute to the value and usefulness of my History of North Carolina, expressing a wish for an early publication of a second edition , uniting yourself in a similar request. Like expressions have been received from many respectable sources. Recently, The New of Raleigh, The Democrat of Charlotte, and other papers call for the publication of the "Reminiscences of Eminent North Carolinians," and appeal "to her sons for contributions "to the Grand Old History of North Carolina." It is hoped and believed this call will be heard and heeded. While Virginia on one side and South Carolina on the other, have presented to the world the glowing record of the patriotism, valor and virtues of their sons, North Carolina equally rich or richer in such reminiscences; and with traits of virtue, and honor, and sacrifices to patriotism, deserving of record, allows this record to be obscured by time, and to "Waste its fragrance on the desert air." It has been truly said that no State of our Republic, has, from the earliest period of its existence, shown a more determined spirit of in dependence, and a more constant and firm resistance "to every form of oppression of the rights of man " than North Carolina. This is evinced on every page of her history, and exhibited on the battle field, and in the exploits of individual prowess. This patriotic spirit has been accompanied by noble traits of individual character; as integrity of purpose, a straightforwardness´o intention, and by simplicity and modesty in demeanor. It was on the shores of North Carolina that the English first landed on this continent. It has been the refuge of the down-trodden, the oppressed and persecuted of every nation, and here they found that freedom denied to them in the old world-with gentle manners and resolute hearts, their whole history exhibits a firm devotion to liberty, a keen perception of right and a ready and determined resistance to wrong. For this and this only, was life desirable to then), and for this they were willing to die. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
