Abstract:

Goerch describes Johnston County, formed in 1746, as a place of history and one of North Carolina's best agricultural counties. He states that \"it has been the mother and grandmother of about a dozen other counties.\" The Battle of Bentonville, the last great orderly battle of the Civil War, was fought there in March 1865.
