About this Book:

In 47 dynamic pages this guide uses maps, old photos, and brief descriptions to take you through 250 years of the "Other South" of mills, Quaker meetinghouses, gunsmiths, gold and copper mines, and fabulous hunting preserves. British troops were here, so were Yankee raiders. There still a cotton mill, the oldest one still operating in the state.

About the Author:

Mary A. Browning is a professional genealogist and a writer specializing in local history of North Carolina's Guilford Co. Her familiarity with the local scene and old families has created this brief introduction to a Deep River community. See some of her stories at the Mendenhall Plantation web site.

Book Review:

The Deep River basin of the North Carolina Piedmont was settled in the 1750s by Quakers and others migrating southward from crowded colonies to the north. This fast-paced introduction to the life style developed in and around a village named Jamestown shows a place where slaves were scarce and schools were progressive. The book is indexed and has full references for those who wish to learn more.
