Abstract:

The Disciples of Christ in North Carolina in their infancy struggled to establish organizations and institutions that enabled them to effectively work and take their place among the older religious institutions in the state. Through educational activities such as private schools, ministerial training and Sunday schools, the Disciples of Christ grew into maturity during the 19th century.

Abstract:

Josephus Daniels had a long and busy life combining several successful careers. Mostly known as the owner-editor of the Raleigh NEWS and OBSERVER, Daniels was also an influential spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. Less well known is that Daniels was twice urged to run for high office, first governor then US senator; however, he did not yield in either case as he did not want the NEWS and OBSERVER to be a herald for his own agenda.

Abstract:

One important phase of the history of American music is the story of the Moravians. In 1753, the principally German groups spread to North Carolina to establish a settlement known as Wachovia. The musical life in Wachovia revolved around Salem. Here they composed elaborate concerted anthems accompanied with string quartets or large ensembles, considered some of the finest choral masterworks of the 18th century.

Abstract:

The value of county bibliographies is examined with a focus on a Mecklenburg County bibliography. The author identifies four logical bases for the creation of a county bibliography - a chronological list of all local imprints, a list of books by or about a given county's native born inhabitants, a complete record of writings by county inhabitants, and writings whose subject matter relates to the cities and county.

Abstract:

This article reports on the findings of archeological excavations carried out at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Roanoke Island during spring 1947 - 1948.

It was initiated shortly after the site received National Historic Site status. A summary of a preceding historical study on the subject is provided, as well as a synopsis of the field work and its results. Study area site maps, diagrams of forts, soil striations, and earthworks are included.
