Indeed, many people assume “all the records must have been destroyed in the fire, so I won’t even bother to check.” While millions of records were destroyed that day, this is unfortunate since not all of them went up in flames. In fact, many of the records did survive and are available today. No indexes had been created prior to the fire. In addition, millions of documents had been lent to the Department of Veterans Affairs before the fire occurred. Therefore, a complete listing of the records that were lost is not available.

  • Vance, Zebulon Baird
    Governors’ Papers Zebulon B. Vance Page One GOVERNOR ZEBULON B. VANCE, n.d., 1876-1879 Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: March 25, 2004 Zebulon Baird Vance (13 May 1830-14 April 1894), Confederate soldier, governor of North Carolina, congressman, and U.S. senator, was the third child and second son of David and Mira Baird Vance. He was born in the old homestead in Buncombe County, on Reems Creek, about twelve miles north of Asheville. After attending the neighborhood schools, he enrolled in 1843 (at age thirteen) in Washington College, near Jonesboro in eastern Tennessee, but withdrew the next year on the death of his father, who left a widow and seven children. In search of better educational opportunities Mrs. Vance moved to Asheville and put her children in school there. In 1850 Vance read law briefly under John W. Woodfin and in July 1851 arrived at The University of North Carolina to continue his legal studies. The next year, after being licensed to practice in the state’s county courts, he returned to Asheville and was immediately elected solicitor for Buncombe County. In 1853 he was admitted to practice in the superior courts. Yet law never brought forth his best endeavors. For Vance law was primarily preparation for politics, which was his passion. Success in the courtroom was usually the result of wit, humor, boisterous eloquence, and clever retorts, not knowledge of the law. He understood people better than he did judicial matters. Vance entered North Carolina politics as a Henry Clay Whig but on the dissolution of his party aligned himself with the American or Know-Nothing party.

CLARK, n.d., 1861-1862 Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: May 26, 2005 Henry Toole Clark (February 7, 1808-April 14, 1874), lawyer, politician, and governor of North Carolina, was born on his father's plantation on Walnut Creek near Tarboro. His father, James West Clark, son of Christopher and Hannah Turner Clark, was a Princeton graduate (1796). He represented Bertie County in the North Carolina House of Commons in 1802-3 and in 1810-11 represented Edgecombe in the house, while his brother-in-law. Henry Irwin Toole, Jr., was state senator from the same county. From 1812 to 1815, James W. Clark represented Edgecombe in the state senate; then he served a single term in Congress (1815-17). He later served as chief clerk in the Navy Department (1829-31) under Secretary of the Navy John Branch, a close friend. James dark's wife, Arabella Toole Clark, was a daughter of Henry Irwin and Elizabeth Haywood Toole, prominent Edgecombe citizens. Henry T. Clark began his education at George Phillips's school in Tarboro and later entered a school in Louisburg. In 1822 he enrolled in The University of North Carolina, being graduated with the class of 1826. He studied law under a relative, William Henry Haywood, Jr., who later (1843-46) served in the U.S. Senate. Although his father joined the Whig party after Branch's resignation from President Andrew Jackson's cabinet, young Henry, influenced by his Haywood cousins, temporarily remained a Democrat.

  • The Western North Carolina Railroad, 1855-1894
    THE WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD, 1855-1894 A thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School Western Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by William Hutson Abrams, Jr. August 6, 1976 PREFACE The Western North Carolina Railroad was the instrumental force in opening up the isolated communities of Western North Carolina. This paper will deal primarily with the construction of this railroad which left Salisbury, climbed the mountains to Asheville, and continued to ter.ninal points of Paint Rock and Ducktown, on the Tennessee Line. The difficulties encountered during construction will be emphasized along with the political aspects that went along with construction. Emphasis will be placed on the time between the State's acquisition of the Railroad in 1875 and the completion to Murphy in 1891. An introductory chapter will briefly cover the start of the railroad in 1855, its role in the Civil War, and the delays in construction caused by the scandals of the Reconstruction Period. Starting with 1875, a vital element in the construction, convict labor, will be dealt with. The management of the railroad varied between state and private ownership. It suffered the financial pains that many early lines endured. Most of all, it was hindered by the ever present problem presented by nature as the track was built through so~e of the roughest terrain east of the Rocky Mountains. This was really the significant feature of the railroad because at many times its further construction seemed to be impossible. Political, financial, managerial, and labor problems testify to the trying task that was accomplished and to the desire of the people of the western part of the state to have their railroad.

  • A Jewish Tour of the Carolinas
    THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL THE COLLECTION OF NORTH CAROLINIANA PRESENTED BY Elizabeth and Walter J. Klein Cp296 K64j Preface You can tell a Jewish traveler by the way he checks into a hotel room, unpacks and automatically skims the local phonebook for Jewish names and places. His sense of history takes him to the nearest synagogue, where he looks for familiar names on the memorial plaques. His optimism shows when he sits down in a kosher restaurant and hopes to bump into a friend of a friend. When he looks at his U.S. map, he may be wise enough to discover the Carolinas, where Jewish population is generally enjoying healthy growth. Yet to thousands of Jewish travelers the Carolinas are unfamiliar territory. Motorists speed from New York to Florida, stop overnight at South of the Border, and are greeted in Miami with two questions: "So which way did you come?" and "How long did it take you?" This modest publication may change all that. Within the 85,829 square miles of these two states lie treasures for Jews of all ages, persuasions and personalities. Many of the following 54 destinations come as refreshing surprises even to Jewish people born and living in North and South Carolina. There are unbelievable stories (try #32), touching spots (#46), surprises (#35) and oddities (#52-54). You can find places where Jews gave to the communities they loved and places where communities honored the Jews they loved. When you opt to see all or most of these destinations, think about at least two days each in Charlotte and Charleston.
