Abstract:
Smith reports on his broad research study of examining the life and contributions of Albion Tourgee, who was North Carolina's famous carpetbagger, lawyer, law maker, judge, civil rights activist, and novelist. He came to Greensboro in 1865, and following a remarkable career here, moved to Colorado in 1879. His name is attached to the Reconstruction Period in the state. Smith states that what has surprised him most about the man is the minimal attention paid to him by educators and historians.

Abstract:
Following the Civil War, Albion Winegar Tourgee, a Northern carpetbagger, moved to North Carolina where he made many contributions to his adopted state. Tourgee served in the constitutional convention of 1868, was a stalwart of the Republican Party, fought the rise of the Klu Klux Klan, and took part in the Union League. His courtship and 50 year marriage to Emma Kilborn was a reflection of the status of courtship and marriage in the second half of the 19th century in North Carolina.
