Excerpt from A History of the Baptists in North CarolinaOur purpose in producing the following pages is to put in readable form the deeds of our Baptist fathers in the Old North State. To write the history of the North Carolina Baptists is to tread on virgin soil. The task has never been undertaken before, so far as the author knows. Consequently, we do not claim perfection in details of Baptist history in North Carolina. The records were only partially kept in the early days, so that much of the real history of North Carolina Baptists has never been committed to paper. Taking into consideration the lack of information in some places and superabundance of it in others, we have tried to make a connected history, dealing with all characters and events with an impartial pen. Many heroes have not a place in this narrative, ' because scarcely anything-has been preserved from their lives of heroism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
