Abstract:

Frank Fleer, founder of Chiclet gum, came to Davidson before World War I, but his outspoken German sentiments during the war caused him to sell his interests in the company. Dan Boone came to North Carolina in 1750, building a prototype of what became a perpetual cabin building program. This and other North Carolina stories are listed by author Paul Pleasants.
