Read about our earliest days when the Catawba Indians roamed the land, the Scots-Irish settlers who moved down from Philadelphia, the first gold rush in the country, the Revolutionary War battles and up to the economic boom of the 1990s. The book includes some photographs never before seen in print and will be a wonderful addition to your library as well as a wonderful gift.
