This North Carolina jurist took part in the only coup d'etat in U.S. history -- the Wilmington Race Riot of 1898 (also known as the Wilmington Insurrection), in which a group of white supremacists forcibly took over the municipal government on November 10, 1898; this racist background was conveniently forgotten when, as North Carolina's 50th governor from 1901 to 1905, Aycock was such a strong education advocate he became known as the "Education Governor" and the father of public education. Boldly penned "Very truly yours / Charles B. Aycock / Gov. of N.C. / Feb. 15, 1903" on a heavy stock 4" X 3" card, n.p. Very good. Paper clip rust stain at upper left, faintly touching upon the "Ve" in "Very"; mounting traces on verso. Overall a quite attractive example, signed in office, accompanied by a nice 5½" X 8" turn-of-the-century glossy magazine portrait of Aycock.

Description:
Greensboro, N.C.: The Guilford Battle Ground Company, 1901. First Edition First Printing . Soft cover. Good. 8vo. 17 pages. Soft cover bound in orange textured wrappers. Light wear and a little soiling to the binding. The inside of the front cover has a mostly removed bookplate. A sturdy copy. The text is a little toned but is clean. The bulk of the pamphlet (pages 3-17) is an article by R. F. Beasley entitled "The Battle of Elizabethtown." This battle took place on Aug. 27 1781 in Bladen County, NC. Elizabethtown was halfway between Wilmington and Cross Keys (now known as Fayetteville). About 60-70 Patriots squared off against 300-400 Loyalists and British soldiers to break their hold in the Cape Fear region. They relied on cunning the the cover of darkness to fake out scatter the British forces. Housed in a removable plastic sleeve with a board backing. Scarce. [Thornton 766]
