  • The North Carolina Historical Review
    The North Carolina Historical Review Volume XII July, 1935 Number 3 THE FIRST BOUNDARY SURVEY BETWEEN THE CAROLINAS Marvin Lucian Skaggs Controversies with regard to boundary limits have character- ized the relations of the political units within the territory of the United States from their beginnings. These controversies have not only been the subject of negotiations between the units con- cerned, but have often become so acrimonious as vitally to affect their peaceful relations and even permanently to color their his- tory and shape their destinies. Such issues as security of terri- tory, State's rights, peace and war, economic welfare, right of settlement, national politics, international relations, and even the existence of the Union, have been at stake. Statesmen and schol- ars have not failed to point out their great significance. ^ The dispute between the Carolinas was one of the oldest and the most lengthy of all of these boundary controversies, and in- volved elements unique in their nature and character. The northern section of the original province was settled by an im- migration to a great degree alien in origin and race to that of the southern section, and remained so throughout the period of their boundary bickerings. Physical, economic, and social con- ditions played a great part in maintaining the ever-widening dif- ferences between the two sections, while an ungenerous attitude of superiority on the part of South Carolina tended to alienate the good will of North Carolina. This controversy, therefore, involved more than the mere use of surveyors' instruments and 1 See, for example, Journals of the Continental Congress, April 15, 1776 ; quotations from John Jay and others in Allen Nevins, The American States During and After the Revolution, 1775-1789 (New York: The Macmillan Co., 1927), pp.

    CISCO, JAY GUY, COLLECTION 1785-[1850–1912]-1953 Processed by: Gwynn Thayer Archival Technical Services Accession Number: 2000-008 Microfilm Accession Number: 1701 Date Completed: June 20, 2003 Location: IV-F-6, top MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION The Jay Guy Cisco Collection 1794-[1850-1912]-1953 measures one cubic foot and includes articles, letters, two scrapbooks, a map of Tennessee, and various other items collected by Cisco, such as Confederate money and bonds, autographs of famous individuals, and pictures of historical figures. Donated by two sisters, Judith S. Gentry and Mary F. Scoby, the collection is unrestricted and arrived in no particular order; no items were discarded during processing. The condition of most of the papers is excellent, although a few items show signs of age. To ensure preservation and ease of access, items in the large scrapbook were separated, cleaned, and encapsulated, and then reorganized according to subject. The original order was preserved in microfilm and via a photocopy included in the collection. Materials from the smaller scrapbook were encapsulated for preservation purposes, but the binding and original order was kept intact. Researchers interested in Jay Guy Cisco and his publications should examine the TSLA Tennessee authors collection located at IV-A-1-3, which includes works written by Cisco. TSLA also has some copies of the Forked Deer Blade, a Jackson, Tennessee, newspaper published by Cisco in the late 1880s and early 1890s.
