SKETCHES OF NORTH CAROLINA, HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL, ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF A PORTION OF HER EARLY SETTLERS. BY REV. WILLIAM HENRY FOOTE. 1846 This 559 page piece of history of the Presbyterian Church and this area of NC was written in 1846 at the request of the Presbytery of North Carolina and in 1912 was republished. In 1961 the Synod of North Carolina started the North Carolina Presbyterian Historical Society and they set out to "correct" the "errors" of this book and republished it in 1965. (DMK Heritage, Editors personal opinion: As a genealogist I personally think the NCPHS were just "nit picking" with the over-all intention of discrediting this work. Mr. Foote states several times that this is not meant to be a history that is why he calls it "Sketches". Some of the individual stories I am sure are not what these two organizations would like as part of their history. However, being a genealogist and having read local histories for the last 35 years, I think the attitudes, and incidents are very realistic and believable, regardless of the "misspelled" words. I think this is an important book for all Scotch-Irish Presbyterian descendents.) This is one of the most quoted books on Rev. War history; events being told by the sons of the soldiers who fought.
