Excerpt from Grandfather's Tales of North Carolina History, Vol. 9 Then we thought it might be a useful offering to the public and to our schools and perhaps give a new stimulus to the State love Of the rising generation and cause them to know more Of their illustrious progenitors, and to emulate their virtues and their patriotic deeds. One boulder was in our pathway. It costs labor to pre pare a book for publication. But we were raised to hard work and were never afraid Of it. But, in addition to that, there's much expense in money in getting a book be fore the public, and we never had the gift Of money-get ting and we were largely gifted with the talent for getting rid of it, which talent, we honestly confess, we have never hid in a napkin, but cultivated assiduously by constant practice - that is to say, when we had it to get rid of. However, we have never been an Elijah that the ravens had to feed. SO we looked around to accomplish by our wits what our purse refused to do.
