Abstract:
During the lean, bitter years after the Civil War, many North Carolinians loyal to the Union cause filed claims with the United States Congress for damages. The three man board-of-commissioners set up to process the flood of damage claims from the South consisted of men from Vermont, New York, and Iowa. Of the 22,000 claims totaling $60 million, payments reached only $4 million dollars.

Foard's research included trips to battlefields, as well as obtaining information on the gun from French archives.

Abstract:
In the ninth story of the Moravian series, the author discusses the strict controls exercised by two groups in Salem. As the community began to prosper, simple communal living was abandoned resulting in new forms of control for the spiritual and financial matters of the society. The Aeltesten Conferenz was responsible for the spiritual affairs of the congregation, while the Aufseher Collegium was established to look after the secular, or financial, affairs of the community.

Abstract:
Although not known as a railroad center, North Carolina has a great profusion of short-line railroads. With slightly over twenty short-lines running, North Carolina can justly claim the title, \"Land of the Little Railroads.\" Primarily owned by small companies, these railroads operate under their own names, independently of any major system.
