Download or read book Lincolnton written by Jason L. Harpe and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lincolnton was born as a starting point for westward expansion in the days when America's frontier was Western North Carolina and Tennessee. The first textile mill in the South was built in Lincolnton, and although the industry suffered early setbacks, by the late 19th century, mills dominated the local economy. Today, Lincolnton manages to maintain its quiet Southern small-town atmosphere while offering the opportunities of a bustling, thriving city. Lincolnton's early history is recorded in deeds, will books, journals, and letters. From the 1940s through the 1970s, Clyde R. "Baby Ray" Cornwell (1912-1987) captured Lincolnton in images that showcase mill villages, civic organizations, parades, local government, and residents. No distinctions between race, gender, or socioeconomic background were seen through his lens. All of the photographs in Images of America: Lincolnton are from the Clyde R. "Baby Ray" Cornwell Collection, part of the permanent collection of the Lincoln County Museum of History. In 2005 the Lincoln County Historical Association celebrates its 50th anniversary. The Lincoln County Museum of History was organized and is maintained by the historical association for the collection, presentation, and promotion of the county's rich historic heritage.
Download or read book Lincoln County North Carolina written by Jason Harpe and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000-11 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in North Carolina's historic piedmont region, Lincoln County possesses some of the Tar Heel State's most picturesque scenery: the shoreline of Lake Norman on its eastern boundary, the winding path of the Catawba River, and the rolling foothills across the countryside. Within this beautiful setting, early pioneering families established homes and communities as early as the 1700s, and since that time, the county has grown and developed, both socially and economically, yet has been able to maintain its small-town charm and character. This volume, containing over 200 black-and-white images, invites readers to experience a Lincoln County of decades and centuries past, a time marked by frontier spirit, dusty main streets, early merchants who carried all the necessities, and a slower pace of life. Lincoln County explores the personal side of the county's history, showcasing everyday life in Lincolnton and the smaller rural communities, such as Pumpkin Center, Triangle, Iron Station, Lowesville, and Denver. From parades and farmers' day celebrations in downtown Lincolnton, to group portraits of turn-of-the-century children and athletes at various early schoolhouses, such as the Mary Wood School and S. Ray Lowder School, to scenes of troops leaving for a variety of wartime service, these images document the everyday struggles, challenges, and achievements that Lincoln Countians faced and endured over the years.

Download or read book Lest We Forget written by Jason L. Harpe and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Nixon provides a unique example of a southerner that grew to maturity during the Civil War and Reconstruction and instigated, contributed to, and motivated Confederate memorialization, educational reform, Democratic control of politics, and public history, while promoting the benefits and necessity of industrial development and growth in his native county and state. He displayed no ambivalence towards the two opposing forces of the Lost Cause and modernity; he embraced both and used them to connect southerners with a mythic past as a means of motivating them to welcome and support self-improvement and progress. He used the scientific, literary, and historical inquiry skills he acquired at the University of North Carolina to preserve and promote education, industry, and pride in local, state, and Anglo-Saxon ancestry. Alfred Nixon was a man caught between his commitment and desire to unite the people of Lincolnton and Lincoln County with a mythic old south heritage and collective southern identity, and the inevitability and emergence of modernity. His movement from the rural environs of eastern Lincoln County into various urban environments and political appointments in Lincolnton forced him to integrate and reconcile the two conflicting elements of tradition and modernity, and create for the people of his home county an everlasting and impermeable traditional identity. Nixon infused his local community, family, and region with a sense of place and time at a point when he believed it was most susceptible to being lost or forgotten.
