Abstract:
Continuing his travels around the state, Goerch describes the things of interest he found in Rockingham County. A number of famous people lived there, including three Governors whose homes still stand; Stephan A. Douglas' wife was a native and she is buried there; Patrick Henry's son and grandson taught there in a school that still stands. Reidsville is one of North Carolina's three tobacco-manufacturing centers, and Goerch lists other towns and their industries.
