Sophomores See
Many Historical
Places in City
Charlotte, Queen City of the
South, not only has the distin-
guishment of being named for a
princess, but also for having so
many places of historic interest.
Some of the most interesting ones
are right here in the city.
First, there is the monument to
the Signers of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence, which
is in the center of the front walk
to the County Court House. The
names of the twenty-seven signers
of that patriotic document v,dll be
found on the sides. So if there are
any who doubt that such a paper
was really signed, it would be a
wise thing that they make a visit
to that particular monument.
Then there is the marker to Cap
tain James Jack, who the bearer
of the Mecklenburg Resolves of
May, 1775, to Philadelphia. This
marker is found in West Trade
Street, just a few steps from Hotel
Charlotte.
Some day when uptown, some
of you boarders see if a policeman
can’t be prevailed upon to escort
you to the middle of the sciuare to
see the tablet which marks the loca
tion of Charlotte’s first court
house.
George Washington once stopped
in the city at what was ihen Cook’s
Inn. That marker can be found
on West Trade near the S and W
Cafeteria.
Then, farther out, there is the
old log cabin where the skirmish
of McIntyre’s Farm was fought.
A small Confederate flag still
hangs in the little window of the
attic. Bullet holes are still visible
n the logs. Here a stone monu-
..isnt has been erected to the mem-
.ry of that lively skirmish when
jUst a handful of “Rebels” put to
oute an army of Britishers.
There are many other markers
to memorable events in and around
Cha.lotte, but the above are the
most outstanding ones.
