The Tar Heel State
The Tar Heel State: A History of North Carolina | Milton Ready
1 post
The first such volume in more than two decades, Ready's work offers a distinctive view of the state's history built from myriad stories and episodes. Ready begins with a study of the state's geography and then invites readers to revisit dramatic struggles of the American Revolution and Civil War, the early history of Cherokees, the impact of slavery as an institution, the rise of industrial mills, and the changes wrought by modern information-based technologies since 1970. Mixing spirited anecdotes and illustrative statistics, Ready describes the rich Native American culture found by John White in 1585, the chartered chaos of North Carolina's proprietary settlement, and the chronic distrust of government that grew out of settlement patterns and the colony's early political economy
