Governor Russell of North Carolina A Sketch of His Ancestors

An Indiana-esque reminiscence by J. H. Foy recounts the life of David W. Sanders and Daniel L. Russell Sr. of Onslow and Brunswick counties. Sanders, self educated yet formidable, built the Onslow court house and amassed wealth. Russell Sr., a turpentine distiller turned legislator, rose from modest means to influence, opposing secession and shaping state policy. The piece praises their integrity, patriotism, and stature as Southern gentlemen, contrasting them with later era politics.
