Abstract:
The first installment in a series, Cockshutt, head of the Survey and Planning Branch, looks chronologically at changing architectural style and building techniques within the state. The earliest period between the 18th- and early 19th-century, builders relied heavily on wood and later brick. Structures were solid and well-crafted by skilled workmen from the state's abundant resources.
Abstract:
The most effective unit of the state's militiamen was organized under Lieutenant Colonel Henry Dixon. His men must have been drilled continuously based on their discipline in battle. A second noteworthy group of North Carolina militia were the \"over mountain men.\" This unit lacked formal military training but, as a group, functioned as a disciplined and organized regiment.
