Abstract:
In 1728, the dividing line between Virginia and North Carolina was drawn. The most famous member of the commission to establish the line was Colonel William Byrd of Virginia. Byrd, who was a self-proclaimed ladies man, wrote two books about the expeditions leading to the line's drawing. The books were frank and caustic, often admonishing settlers in both Virginia and North Carolina. Byrd died in 1744.
