Book Description

Excerpt from Branson's North Carolina Business Directory, for 1867-8: Containing Facts, Figures, Names, and Locations, Revised and Corrected Annually Our hearts swell with gladness, whenever we name her. Hurrah! Hurrah! The Old North State for ever! Hurrah! Hurrah! The good Old North State! Though She envies not others their merited glory, Say, whose name stands the foremost in Liberty's story! Though too true to herself, e'er to crouch to Oppression, Who can yield to just rule a more loyal submission? Hurrah, &0. Plain and artless her sons, but whose doors Open faster, At the knock Of the stranger, or the tale of disaster? How like to the rudeness of their dear native mountains.
