With scores of books already in print about the American Revolution in North Carolina, what makes this work different? Most historians merely offer a broad-brushed canvas with an overview of a very complex human struggle, and those works are fine for those who simply want to absorb only a few highlights. This three-volume set provides a very detailed and comprehensive narrative that has never been told before and is mostly told by thousands of those who were actually there. This three-volume set is certainly intended for the serious-minded Revolutionary War "wonk" who simply cannot get enough first-hand accounts, even if some accounts often contradict one another. Since there were so many players during the eight years that North Carolina Patriots fought for their freedom, it is impossible to tell a single story with a single viewpoint. There are literally thousands of voices to be heard, each with their own small tale adding to the mosaic of the overall narrative.

Alexander and Janet Schaw, Scottish siblings, began a journey in 1774 that would take them from Edinburgh to the Caribbean Islands and then to America. Part of the early wave of Scottish colonization, the pair visited family and friends who had already established themselves in the colonies. ""Journal of a Lady of Quality"" is Janet Schaw's account of this voyage through letters to a friend in Scotland. The letters describe the sights, scenery, and social life she encountered, but they also reveal the political atmosphere of an America on the verge of revolution. Stephen Carl Arch provides a new introduction for this Bison Books edition.
