Abstract:
Understanding land use and ownership in the Piedmont during the late 18th and early 19th century is a difficult topic of study due to lack of documentation. One glimpse into this world is a County Land Valuation Book for Iredell County 1800. This work includes not only land records but family papers, deeds, farming accounts, and surveyor's notes. The author examines this document to present a picture of early agricultural life in the Piedmont, specifically Iredell County, which includes not only a historical account but statistical data.
