Excerpt from The North Carolina Teacher, Vol. 7: September, 1889-June, 1890 The history of every people is one, 'as the history of every individual is one from infancy to old age. And the earlier periods of both, though least known or remembered, are really the most important and enduring, because the most plastic and formative. Mrs. Spencer modestly dis claims, on the behalf of the State, any very high romantic or poetic interest in its early annals like that of the early legends of Virginia, which is as bright with traditionary incident, real or fabled, as the early annals of ancient Rome.
