This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The records of Hertford County were destroyed by arson in 1830, and again by Union soldiers during the Civil War. Piecing together what he could from his father's old deeds, various records of other families, and the surviving will and court record books, the author compiled this history to preserve forever the valuable information remaining. The volume begins with a brief overview of U.S. history, then Carolina history, and lists many names of early political figures active before the American Revolution. The book is organized by decade, and works its way through fifteen decades, from 1760-1770 all the way to 1900-1906. All the historical facts that could be found are in this book. Following the history are lists of Hertford County public officials. Finally, there is a sizable list of miscellaneous information, including population, dates of incorporation, and typical climate of North Carolina and its counties; some more general U.S. history; and some useful rules for the farmer and businessman, such as how to keep hams, how to mix a durable whitewash, how to look after young chickens, and more. An every-name index has been added to this work.

Download or read book The Colonial and State History of Hertford County North Carolina written by Benjamin Brodie Winborne and published by Genealogical Publishing Company. This book was released on 1976 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judge Benjamin Winborne, motivated by the destruction of most of Hertford County's early official records, collected a lifetime of information of his home county and ultimately published it in 1906. The work itself spans a period of fifteen decades, within which compass it makes a survey of the early settlers, soldiers, churchmen, and politicians and examines with considerable circumspection the early courts and government, in short dwelling on all persons, places, and events instrumental to the growth and development of the county. Nor does it neglect Hertford's participation in various wars, for a great number of colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil War officers and soldiers are identified and permanently memorialized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although millions of African American women were held in bondage over the 250 years that slavery was legal in the United States, Harriet Jacobs (1813-97) is the only one known to have left papers testifying to her life. Her autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, holds a central place in the canon of American literature as the most important slave narrative by an African American woman. Born in Edenton, North Carolina, Jacobs escaped from her owner in her mid-twenties and hid in the cramped attic crawlspace of her grandmother's house for seven years before making her way north as a fugitive slave. In Rochester, New York, she became an active abolitionist, working with all of the major abolitionists, feminists, and literary figures of her day, including Frederick Douglass, Lydia Maria Child, Amy Post, William Lloyd Garrison, Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Fanny Fern, William C. Nell, Charlotte Forten Grimke, and Nathan Parker Willis. Jean Fagan Yellin has devoted much of her professional life to illuminating the remarkable life of Harriet Jacobs. Over three decades of painstaking research, Yellin has discovered more than 900 primary source documents, approximately 300 of which are now collected in two volumes. These letters and papers written by, for, and about Jacobs and her activist brother and daughter provide for the thousands of readers of Incidents--from scholars to schoolchildren--access to the rich historical context of Jacobs's struggles against slavery, racism, and sexism beyond what she reveals in her pseudonymous narrative. Accompanied by a CD containing a searchable PDF file of the entire contents, this collection is a crucial launching point for future scholarship on Jacobs's life and times.
