Excerpt from Life of the Hon. Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina: In Which There Is Displayed Striking Instances of Virtue, Enterprise, Courage, Generosity and Patriotism An author, who produces a book, be it good or bad, in some measure exhibits his heart to the world, provided this book contains thoughts which, if he has not invented, (and indeed in our days there is little left for invention, ) he has at least found and made his own. He not only reveals the subjects, that have employed his thoughts at certain periods, the doubts that have occurred to perplex him in his journey through life, and the solutions, with which he has removed them; but he reckons upon some minds in unison with his own, be they ever so few, to which these or similar ideas will prove of importance in the labyrinth of life. This is the most estimable merit of authorship, and a man of good heart will feel much less pleasure from what he says, than from what he excites.

This is the story of a region at once representative and unique in the history of Southern culture, which was from its earliest colonial beginnings a focus of strength, intellect, and proud individuality. Warren County, North Carolina, heart of the Roanoke Region, early built for grace and vigor. It bred people who were great in the affairs of the state and the nation. Resolutely it fought for freedom from England, was a harbor of antebellum grace and vigor, sent its sons into the forefront of Civil War battles, weathered Reconstruction's woes, and strove to sustain its ancient tradition of greatness while keeping step with modernity in the world. Here are remembered the beginnings in a primitive wilderness, the pioneer region that grew into a rich empire of luxury and intellectualism, the county that weathered disasters and won deserved rewards. The events of its life as a locality, with the men and women who created those events, are here retold. Warren County's special record of mannered culture and robust folkways, its parade of hunters, builders, scholars, statesmen, soldiers, belles and beaux, wits and merrymakers, its progress and change as noted in five different centuries, are set forth from authentic sources.
