Excerpt from Tarheel Junior Historian: January 1962-May 1966; Vol. 1-5 Early Hunters. America was first discovered about 8000 B. C. By people from Asia called Early Hunters. There was no water between America and Asia at the Bering Strait so Alaska was connected to Siberia by a plain of dry land. The Early Hunters did not have many of the tools we ordinarily associate with the American Indian. The main weapon was the spear. It was a long shaft of wood with a finely chipped point of stone fastened to the tip. They made a large number of chipped stone scrapers to remove bark from wooden spear shafts and to work hides and wooden tools. Axes were made of chipped stone with no polishing and only a notch on each side for fastening. The spear point had no stem and was straight across the back. They had no bows and arrows and no pottery. There were no permanent houses of any kind. A lean-to shelter was made if the weather was extremely bad. They gathered berries and nuts but depended mainly on animals for food. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Tarheel Junior Historian, Vol. 6: September, 1966 Thus, we can see that the existence of man depended largely upon what he could plant, cultivate, and harvest on his own land. To keep himself and his family alive, the farmer in antebellum North Carolina truly needed to be also a hunter, a trapper, a carpenter, a mechanic, a business man.

Excerpt from Tarheel Junior Historian, Vol. 19: Fall 1979 Students were intrigued by the stories that Walser told to exemplify legend and history. He explained the differences. One story, Virginia Dare the White Doe, exemplified legend, though it is based upon a real character. Walser also discussed certain stories about the pirate Black beard and pointed out that they are history, that the facts are recorded in documents. With their attention and their applause, the students made it clear that Mr. Walser's presence and his storytelling abilities were much appreciated.

Excerpt from Tar Heel Junior Historian, Vol. 17: Fall 1977 The Mountain Region of North Carolina began to be settled late in the history of the colony. Following the Battle of Alamance on May 16, 1771, many of the defeated Regulators, and others who had similar concerns, fled westward beyond the Blue Ridge. They moved into the Watauga Settlements, joining pioneers who had violated earlier British treaties by purchasing lands from the Cherokee Indians. Far removed from the seat of North Carolina's govern ment, representatives from the scattered Watauga Settlements met in 1772 and drew up and adopted the Articles of the Watauga Association. These laws provided for a representative form of government. A general assembly, comprised of representatives selected by free men, was set up. From among the thirteen members of the assembly, a committee of five was chosen. This committee was to be in charge of the affairs of the settlements, to act as a court and to have the power of treaty making. With the creation of this constitution, democracy had come to the mountains of North Carolina - which then included territory that in 1796 became the state of Tennessee. The Watauga Settlements became the first English-speaking nation independent of Great Britain. Cutoff from the rest of colonial America by mountains and stretches of wilderness, people of the Watauga Settle ments heard of events leading to the American Revolution weeks and often months after they had occurred. However, once they understood that there was rebellion against the crown, they supported it. One of the first celebrations of July 4 in America was that held at Fort Patrick Henry in 1777. It was a great occasion attended by four or five hundred Cherokee and militia (an organization of male citizens subject to call by law for military service during emergencies) from the settlements and southwest Virginia; Capt. Ben Cleveland's company from Surry County, North Carolina, was also there. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A business biography of George Washington, focusing on his many innovations and inventions. George Washington: general, statesman...businessman? Most people don't know that Washington was one of the country's first true entrepreneurs, responsible for innovations in several industries. In George Washington, Entrepreneur, John Berlau presents a fresh, surprising take on our forefather's business pursuits. History has depicted Washington as a gifted general and political pragmatist, not an intellectual heavyweight. But he was a patron of inventors and inveterate tinkerer, and just as intelligent as Jefferson or Franklin. His library was filled with books on agriculture, history, and philosophy. He was the first to breed horses with donkeys to produce the American mule. On his estate, he grew countless varieties of trees and built a greenhouse full of exotic fruits, herbs, and plants. Unlike his Virginia neighbors who remained wedded to tobacco, Washington planted seven types of wheat. His state-of-the-art mill produced flour which he exported to Europe in sacks stamped "G. Washington"—one of the very first branded food products. Mount Vernon was also home to a distillery and became one of the largest American whiskey producers of the era. Berlau's portrait of Washington, drawn in large part from his journals and extensive correspondence, presents a side of him we haven't seen before. It is sure to delight readers of presidential biography and business history.
