Download or read book Wilkes County written by Misty Bass and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardy pioneers settled this area of the North Carolina backcountry in the 18th century. Perhaps best known for illegal whiskey and stock car racing, Wilkes County heritage also lies in agriculture and industry. Farmers toiled the land while industrialists and merchants built houses, businesses, railroads, and services in the county's three municipalities: Wilkesboro, North Wilkesboro, and Ronda. Major corporations Lowe's and Holly Farms were born here. Americana music is a staple of local culture, with popular festivals like MerleFest drawing international acclaim to the area. The enduring folkways and down-home values of this rural community have long made Wilkes County a place where the roots of family and history run deep.
Download or read book Past and Present written by Elwood Pleas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past and Present: A Brief History of the County From 1821 to 1871 The following pages are the result of a desire to collect and preserve facts connected with the early history and growth of our county, which are constantly becoming more difficult to obtain, as the pioneers of the county are rapidly passing away. It is not supposed, however, that what has been done in these pages is all that can be done in this direction, as I have met with several persons since portions of the work were closed up, who were in possession of a fund of facts of which I would gladly have availed myself at an earlier day. This pioneer essay, it is hoped, will not close the effort in this direction, but may stimulate some one to begin the collection of material at once, and at no distant day present something more thorough and worthy of our county and the memory of those who have gone before, and through whose patient endurance and hardships we now enjoy so many of the blessings of life. It is proper, also, to state that the work of collecting material was begun late in November last, with a view to issuing only a small pamphlet of some forty or fifty pages at most.

Download or read book Bell County Kentucky written by Tim Cornett and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site of the Gateway to the West, the Cumberland Gap, the history of Kentucky begins right here in Bell County. Early pioneers like Thomas Walker and Daniel Boone endured the untamed wilderness and opened the door to the Bluegrass for civilizations to follow. Those who subsequently made their homes here- who eked a living out of the rocky soil and survived civil war, world war, labor war and the booms and busts of timber and coal- have preserved this pioneering spirit. Lifelong resident Tim Cornett presents the history of his homeland from its first known inhabitants through the twentieth century, drawing on old letters, memoirs and personal interviews from the men and women who explored the land, exploited the land and shaped it into the Bell County we know today.
