Quakers, farmers, slave owners, inventors, industrialists,
business founders, philanthropists, and political leaders—
these are the members of one North Carolina family whose
story begins with the refusal of proud seventeenth-century
English farmers and craftsmen to suffer religious persecution.
Mary Jane Boren Meeker ponders the people and the forces
that shaped her family. Her record of how her American
family was nourished by and, in turn, nourished its part of
North Carolina is not only a family story, but also a micro-
cosm of Southern history. |
