Abstract:

Cumberland County has been in the mainstream of military, commercial, and political events for 225 years. It is the home of Fort Bragg and boasts the furthest inland port. It has also received the largest concentration of Scotch Highland settlers ever to migrate in such a short time to America. The author provides an anecdotal history of the area and its overall importance to North Carolina.
