In the city and Its vicin ity are many, placea of historic terest, with which every teacher of North Carolina children ought to be familiar. It has long been thecentre of people noted In history for their love of religious and political freedom, and for their-devotlonjo the jcausof education. 1 The .Scotch-Irish began to emigrate to America about the year 1726. The Oovernor and Assembly of North Car olina did all they could to turn the attention of these desirable settlers to this colony.. Family after family, and colony after colony swarmed Into western North Carolina from Pennsyl vania and Virginia; piling their furni ture on wagons, with the women and children on top, . while . tho men walked or rode on horseback, they, Gardner- rouowea tne srvers ana vaiieys unin . - .r-. - - -they found land that suited them, and.

V The people of Charlotte, proud of The coming of tho Scotch-Irish was. their history, .have marked their places tho signal for the sen 00 1 doors to open. . Wherever they .settled, their log churchea and log' schoolhouses went up with as much certainty as their .log cabins..- Most of their preachers, who were ' usually also their teachers, were educated at Princeton College,' Among themost famous of their schools wa Queen's Museum, or Queen's College, In Char lotte, which was long a nursery of political and religious freedom. This and many -others ot their academies became tho centres of training .for revolutionary leader Charlotte's fame aa A centra of revolutionary ' activity la national. Everybody knows the history of the great event which marked tho 20th of May, in J. as a proud date in North Carolina history.

Davie, Oeneral William I Davidson, General Jethro Summer. Captain Joseph Oraham, and. their' bands of Active partisans, harassed the British at every turn, .so that Cornwallls called Charlotte "The Hornet's Nest of America;" and "bloody" Tarleton declared - that Mecklenburg was "a damned rebellious country." Cornwal lls Anally- reached Charlotte, . where he . had trouble enough. - His - men couud not stir without being shot at, his messengers were killed, his pro visions were cut off, and the wagons which he sent out for, food were drlv en back to Charlotte Uden with dead and wounded British soldiers. In the Immediate vicinity of Char lotte is the famous battleground of King's Mountain, where was strhek by North Carolina soldiers the first decisive blow in thst aeries of events which resulted In , Yorktown. Corn wallia Immediately retreated to South Carolina, and soon afterwards. Gen eral Nathaniel Greene took command of the American -army, at Charlotte But tho history of Charlotte It not confined to - revolutionary - War.
