Located in the western piedmont of North Carolina, Yadkin County was hardly a hotbed of rebellion at the start of the Civil War. Many of the 1,200 men from Yadkin who served in the Confederate Army did so with distinction, but a number deserted.

This is a comprehensive accounting of how the county responded to the Civil War and the effect it had on Yadkin's citizens, civilian and military alike.

The region embraced in these studies lies between MD & TX. It comprises the faunas of the various watersheds of this part of the Atlantic & Gulf slopes. Frequent comparison with many of the drainages of the TN & MI valleys has been necessary; much of the material reported from those areas has been re-examined.

Extensive noteworthy collections were made by Joseph Galloway. These were supplemented by Fowler¿s own collecting trips & the staff of the Acad. of Nat. Sci. of Phila. in NC in 1940, & of the Southern Piedmont-Coastal Plain Aquatic Survey of 1941 & 1942. Illus.
