Historic awakening in North Carolina urged through state focused history study
Edwin A. Alderman argues for a state centered historical program at the University to train scholars in methods of inquiry, use state records, and produce monographs on topics from taxation to public roads and the growth of towns. He envisions summers on Cape Fear and Bath, printing presses, and trained teachers spreading rigorous local history across North Carolina.
