Town Development In The Colonial Backcountry: Virginia And North Carolina, Christopher E. Hendricks

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Ironically, this phenomenon occurred in an area of two American colonies usually considered to be devoid of towns.;This dissertation is a study of twenty-eight towns established from 1744 to 1776 in the …
