Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Biennial Report of the North Carolina Historical Commission Until the organization of the Historical Commission no effort seems to have been made to preserve these manuscripts. They were hauled out of the Governors office and literally dumped into the leaky and dilapidated attic of the building on Fayetteville street now occupied by the State Insurance Commissioner. There they were left without protection from rain, fire, or pilferers. Indeed, access to them was allowed to anyone who desired to rummage through them. Consequently, many important documents have been lost. But the greater part has been rescued, and they are now preserved among the collections of the Historical Commission, where they are being classified and filed as rapidly as possible. Ultimately a card index will be made so as to make them easily accessible to investigators. Mr. Edmonds has classified and filed the correspondence of the following Governors: Richard Caswell (1777-1780 and 1784- 1787); Abner Nash (1780-1781); Thomas Burke (1781-1782); Alexander Martin (1782-1784 and 1789-1792); Samuel Johnston (1787-1789); Richard Dobbs Spaight, Sr. (1792-1795); Samuel Ashe (1795-1798); William R. Davie (1798-1799);Benjamin Williams (1799-1802 and 1807-1808); James Turner (1802-1805); Nathaniel Alexander (1805-1807); David Stone (1808-1810); Benjamin Smith (1810-1811); William Hawkins (1811-1814); William Miller (1814-1817); John Branch (1817- 1820); Jesse Franklin (1820-1821); Gabriel Holmes (1821- 1824); Hutchings G. Burton (1824-1827); James Iredell (1827- 1828); John Owen(1828-1830); Montfort Stokes(1830-1832); David L. Swain (1832-1835); Richard Dobbs Spaight, Jr. (1835-1836); Edward Dudley (1836-1841); John M. Morehead (1841-1845); William A. Graham (1845-1849); David S. Reid (1851-1854); Thomas Bragg (1855-1859); Zebulon B. Vance (1862-1865 and 1877-1879). Thus far, of this collection, 14,754 letters and other documents have been filed, representing 9,581 correspondents. The work will be continued as rapidly as possible till the classification and filing of the Executive Letters has been completed, and then a card index will be prepared.
