Continuing his travels around the state, Goerch describes the things of interest he found in Mecklenburg County. Charlotte, the state's largest city, is located there. Goerch writes that \"the county has one of the most interesting histories of any county in the state.\" President James K. Polk and Stonewall Jackson's daughter, Julia, were both born there. Davidson College was founded in the county in 1837.
