The Lower Cape Fear in colonial days
It is the purpose of this volume to focus light upon a single scene of this broad tapestry, the history of the Lower Cape Fear in colonial days. ...it is a case study of the founding, development, and eventual freedom of a British posession. And because the region conformed so well to the English mercantile system, it was a classic example of the role the mother country expected her colonial possessions to play. In that perspective the history is an integral part of the story of the British empire during the eighteenth century. It is also an important chapter in the creation of a mighty nation, the United States of America. -- from the preface
