In 1784 North Carolina’s share of the national debt was a ninth, or about five millions of dollars—a prodigious sum for a commonwealth just emerging from a colonial chrysalis to raise. Yet North Carolina was more fortunate than some of her sister débutantes into Statehood, in that she possessed some twenty-nine million acres of virgin country beyond the Alleghanies. This noble realm, from which the State of Tennessee was to be fashioned, had been won by confiscation and the rifles of the over-mountain settlers and had cost North Carolina neither blood nor money. The republic was too young to have developed coalescence. A man might be a New Yorker, a New Englander, a Virginian and so on, but as yet seldom an American. The majority of the Northern representatives to the national Congress believed the Union was full grown, geographically; that it covered too much territory already. To all such narrow visions the Alleghanies appealed as being the natural western boundary. These conservatives insisted the future of the country was to be found on the seaboard.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports you to the rugged frontier of the American West in the late 18th century, a time when the fledgling nation was struggling to define itself and its borders. The author vividly portrays the turbulent lives of pioneers carving out a new existence in the untamed territory beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Tensions are high as the settlers clash with Native American tribes, fueled by the machinations of foreign powers seeking to exploit the region's resources and influence. We meet Kirk Jackson, a young Virginian, who arrives on the Watauga frontier seeking love and adventure. However, he finds himself caught in a web of political intrigue as the struggle between competing empires unfolds. The book delves into themes of national identity, the clash between individual freedom and political ambition, and the enduring power of human spirit amidst the harsh realities of frontier life. Its exploration of the complexities of westward expansion and the forging of a national character makes it a captivating read for anyone interested in early American history.
