Randolph County
Created in 1779, Randolph County is located in the center of North Carolina's Piedmont region. This concise volume traces the history of the county from its pre-colonial Native American habitation through European settlement in the eighteenth century, growing industrialization in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and its establishment as a national tourist destination in the twenty-first century.
Civil War Courts-Martial of North Carolina Troops
During the Civil War, Confederate military courts sentenced to death more soldiers from North Carolina than from any other state. This study offers the first exploration of the service records of 450 of these wayward Confederates, most often deserters. Arranged by army, corps, division and brigade, it chronicles their military trials and frequent executions and offers explanations of how the lucky and the clever were able to avoid their fate. Focus on court activity by company allows for comparisons that emphasize the wide disparity in discipline within a regiment and brigade. By stressing the effectiveness of these deadly decisions as deterrents to others, this work maintains that an earlier and wider reliance on execution would have strengthened the Confederacy sufficiently to force a negotiated end to the war, thus saving many Confederate and Federal lives.
Craven
In 1750, Peter Craven (ca. 1712-1792) settled in North Carolina from New Jersey. His ancestors were originally from England. Descendants and relatives lived in North Carolina, Missouri, Kansas and elsewhere.

Dictionary of North Carolina Biography
The most comprehensive state project of its kind, the Dictionary provides information on some 4,000 notable North Carolinians whose accomplishments and occasional misdeeds span four centuries. Much of the bibliographic information found in the six volumes has been compiled for the first time. All of the persons included are deceased. They are native North Carolinians, no matter where they made the contributions for which they are noted, or non-natives whose contributions were made in North Carolina.
