Abstract:
Settled in 1752 by Moravian Bishop Spangenberg, Alexander County is a small region in the North Carolina Piedmont. Predominately inhabited by descendants of Scotch-Irish or Anglo-Saxon immigrants, Alexander County is known for a variety of short-lived entrepreneurial ventures, most notably mining of the emerald-spodumen, also known as the Lithia emerald.
