About the Book



Reprint. Originally published: New York: Norton, c1977. With a new preface and concluding chapter by the author.



Book Synopsis



A leading authority on the people and events that have shaped North Carolina over four centuries, Powell here provides a sharply drawn overall history of the state for general readers. In twelve chapters this volume traces North Carolina's history from England's initial efforts to found a colony in America in the sixteenth century to uncertain and often-turbulent times as the final quarter of the twentieth century approached.



From the Back Cover



William Powell is the leading authority on the people and events that have shaped North Carolina over four centuries. His concise history of the state has been a favorite since its publication in 1978, and for this edition, Powell has provided a new chapter that brings the story up to date.
