Abstract:
In the early 19th century, North Carolina experienced the first fold mining boom in North America. By the 1830s a federal branch mint had been built in Charlotte and occupations in gold production were second only to agriculture.

Many of these skilled miners were Cornishmen, who brought their mining heritage, refined over centuries of experience, into this new field of opportunity.
