Abstract:
This article examines the history of the 'North Carolina Historical Review' from 1924 to 1974. Founded with state funds, the NCHR initially had little in the way of readers and contributors. Financially strained by the Great Depression and plagued by reduced contributions during World War II, the NCHR received a post-war boom.

Abstract:
This article examines the 19th century North Carolina mining operations of Calvin J. Cowles of Wilkesboro at his Gap Creek Mine. Though lacking in funds to fully develop the mine, it was well suited for the production of copper. After forming a mining company with William C. Brandreth of New York to develop the mine, little mining was actually done. Brandreth was poorly funded and a series of stock market manipulations and company name changes derailed mining efforts.
