This publication has been gotten up at considerable expense and labor, at the instance and under the supervision of the North Carolina Land Company, which is composed of a number of intelligent, enterprising and respectable gentlemen of the States of New York and North Carolina. This Company has been established in this city for the purpose of aiding in the transportation and location of Northern and European settlers coming to North Carolina, and for the sale of lands of all descriptions, suited to the wants of the agriculturist, the vine and fruit grower, the truck farmer, the miner and manufacturer, as well as the sale of improved and unimproved lots in the towns and cities of the State, and to render all possible assistance to persons who desire to invest their funds in this State, judiciously. In order to furnish to persons desirous of coming to the State, the most reliable, general and statistical information, as a guide to investment and location, the Land Company has procured the services of gentlemen in no way interested personally in their enterprise, who, from long acquaintance and actual observation, were well qualified to give a brief but correct description of every county. Besides this, they have procured a mass of valuable information in the form of letters, from leading gentlemen who have held high public positions in the State, and whose thorough acquaintance with the subjects upon which they write, as well as their entire reliability remove all doubt as to the truthfulness and correctness of their statements. The whole, therefore, embodies an amount of information precisely suited to the wishes of all classes of persons who desire to seek a home, in one of the most highly favored portions of the earth, in climate, soil, natural advantages, capacity for improvement, population, c., which cannot be obtained from any other publication.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, compiled in 1869 as a resource for settlers seeking Southern homesteads, provides a detailed overview of each North Carolina county's available lands, with a specific focus on agricultural opportunities. It was created at a pivotal time, when the Southern economy relied heavily on agriculture. The author explores the advantages of Southern farming compared to the North and West, highlighting the region's longer growing season and fertile lands rich with organic matter. He discusses the region's diverse climate and topography, extolling the health benefits of the climate and describing the mountains and coastal areas as ideal for settlement. Each county is profiled with descriptions of its natural resources, including numerous references to the relative productivity of the various soil types found throughout the state. The book tells of the gold and copper mines in the western counties, and the corresponding need for skilled miners and manufacturers. The author notes the abundance of fruits, vegetables, and grains grown in North Carolina, as well as the burgeoning wine industry. This book is a valuable historical resource for its depiction of North Carolina's natural bounty during a time of economic and social change.
