Abstract:
From free turnip seed, the tie-breaking ballot for building new courthouse was cast. From being built in Lapland, Zebulon Vance predicted the new courthouse would flourish. With a few years, Lapland was renamed Marshall, and a third courthouse was built. Today, the town renamed for a chief justice and its symbol of justice testify to Vance’s vision.

Abstract:
The claim for ownership of a mountain was waged for over a century and involved locals, state and federal authorities, and private interest groups. Officially, much of the land around Mount Mitchell currently belongs to the government. Continuing conservation efforts suggest, though, that ownership, as defined by a sense of responsibility, is still the province of the public.

Abstract:
A Cleveland, Ohio native made an impact on the town that prompted his self-identification as an “Ashevillian.” How his influence continues is through philanthropic contributions to the city. Those noted include the Asheville Public Library, Vance monument, and Montford Residential Park. Such endeavors generated the city’s nods to his name such as Pack Square.

Abstract:
This battle's carnage is measured in more than Union and Confederate casualties. Included by the author were the destruction of the 26th North Carolina Regiment as a formidable force. Attesting to Gettysburg’s destruction included 28,000 Confederate dead or wounded, 2,935 of whom were buried in Virginia’s Hollywood Cemetery. The large number of North Carolina soldiers killed, one in four of total forces, helped to usher in a peace movement yielding 100 rallies and increased division between the Secessionists and Unionists.

Abstract:
Zebulon B. Vance was governor of North Carolina during the Civil War. He commanded the Twenty-sixth Regiment of North Carolina Troops at the battles of New Bern and Malvern Hill, prior to his election in 1862. He was an ardent nationalist and supported the Confederacy to the war's end. It was this steadfastness to the state that won him reelection in 1864 over peace candidate William W. Holden. Vance was again elected governor from 1877 to 1879 and then served as a U.S. Senator till his death in 1894.

Abstract:
This article discusses and examines Zebulon B. Vance, North Carolina's governor during the Civil War, and his defense for the state's secession and his own actions as governor. Vance's defense hinged on a reluctant North Carolina being pressured by outside forces and his own sense of duty that caused him to support the Confederacy. This line of reasoning boosted Vance into a successful political career.

Abstract:
Civil War governor, Zebulon Baird Vance, was born in Reems Creek Valley outside Asheville in 1830. The Vance Birthplace was built around 1795, and has been a state historic site for twenty years. The outer walls of the main log house have been reconstructed, but most of the interior of the house is original. There are also six log outbuildings on the site. The house has workshops for students and teachers, including how to dip candles, cook over an open fire, and hand weave.

Abstract:
During 1865, Governor Zeb Vance admitted it was impossible to continue to carry out his gubernatorial duties in Raleigh. He moved to Statesville that spring, but was arrested at his home on May 12, 1865 by Federalist forces. Because Vance was not involved in the profiteering common in the state at that time, the house is humble and hardly a mansion. The house is now a museum in honor of Vance and is open to the public.

Abstract:
In 1877, Governor Zeb Vance began his third term, deeply concerned about the state of the North Carolina State Library. He enlisted the help of Cornelia Phillips Spencer from Chapel Hill to re-catalogue the entire collection. Once the catalogue was complete, the collection had to be reorganized by State Librarian Sherwood Haywood. Spencer's catalogue, if published, did not survive.
