Excerpt from North Carolina History Stories In presenting this little volume to the children of North Carolina there are two objects In view: 1. To stimulate study in North Carolina history. 2. To give supplementary reading matter, containing interesting facts. For the promotion of these objects the author has selected events and incidents that have interest in themselves, and has told them in words simple enough for a child to understand. The stories close with the eighteenth century, and embrace a portion of the two preceding centuries. If a desire to know more of the history of North Carolina be aroused, the chief object of the writer will have been attained. Thanks are due Dr. Richard Dillard, of Edenton, for facts relative to the Edenton Tea Party, and to Major Graham Daves for valuable aid.
