One of the first British attempts to settle North America was in North Carolina. But the Roanoke colony has trouble from the beginning with its location, its food supply, and its relations with the first Americans living nearby. That settlement disappears, but the colony of North Carolina returns to play a vital part in America’s history, from the American Revolution to the Civil War to man’s first powered flight. This funny, colorful graphic novel will excite reluctant readers, prepare students for standardized tests in history and help homeschooling parents!

This illustrated children's book was published in 1910.These tales, concerning all sorts and con- ditions of people, were written by H. E. C. Bryant, better known as Red Buck. As staff correspondent of The Charlotte Observer, Mr. Bryant visited every comer of North Carolina, and in his travels over the state wrote many stories of human interest, de- picting life and character as he found It. His first impulse to publish his stories in book form resulted from an appreciation of his work by the lamented Harry Myrover, a very scholarly writer of Fayetteville, who said: *' I have been struck frequently at how the predominant mental characteristic sticks out in Mr. Bryant. His sense of humor is as keen as a razor. He sees a farce while other men are looking at a funeral, and this exquisite sense of humor Is liable to break out at any time — even in church. One may read after him seriously, as he reports the proceedings of a big event but toward the last the whole thing Is likely to burst out In an Irrepressible guffaw, at some very quaint, funny reflection or criticism, or an Inadver- slon. All this shows out, too, from the per- sonal side of the man, making him dellghjt- ful In talk, and altogether one of the most entertaining fellows one will meet In many a day's journey. *' I really think there Is more Individuality about his writings, than about those of any other writer of the state. Every page spar- kles and bubbles with the humor of the man, and it is a clean, wholesome humor, there being nothing in it to wound, but everything to cheer and please." These words honestly spoken by Mr. Myrover encouraged Mr. Bryant. Red Buck's dialect stories soon obtained a state wide reputation, and as Mr. J. P. Caldwell, the gifted editor of The Charlotte Observer, truly said: *' His negro dialect stories are equal to those of Joel Chandler Harris — Uncle Remus." His friends will be delighted to know that he has collected some of the best of his stones, and that they are presented here. In North Carolina there is no better known man than Red Buck. A letter addressed to " Red Buck, North Carolina," would be de- livered to H. E. C. Bryant, at Charlotte. Everybody in the state knows the big hearted, auburn haired Scotch-Irishman of the Meck- lenburg colony, who, on leaving college went to work on The Charlotte Observer and, on account of his cardinal locks, rosy complexion and gay and game way, was dubbed " Red Buck " by the editor, Mr. Caldwell. It was an office name for a time. Then it became state property, and the name " Bryant " per- ished. Red Buck has traveled all over the state of North Carolina and written human inter- est stories from every sand-hill and mountain cove. Many Tar Heels know him by no other name than Red Buck. In fact there is a Red Buck fad in the state, which has resulted in a Red Buck brand of whiskey, a Red Buck cigar, a Red Buck mule, a Red Buck pig, and a Red Buck rooster, although the man for whom they are named drinks not, neither does he smoke. This book of Tar Heel tales is from Mr. Bryant's cleverest work. Thomas J. Pence. Washington Press Gallery. December, 1909.
