Winstead, Thomas P.

Abstract:

The group known as the \"founding fathers\" of the United States came from all thirteen colonies. Winstead recounts the life of one of them--Cornelius Harnett, Jr.--who is all but unknown to North Carolinians today but who deserves to be counted among them. \"He was neither a signer of the Declaration of Independence or a framer of the Constitution, but instead was one of those who aided the cause to resist the efforts of the British Government.\"
