Resident historian, Troy Kickler, recently returned from a meeting with the Union County Historical Society. Troy introduced the group to the JLF‘s NC History Project. His lecture centered on Nathaniel Macon’s life and
how his political beliefs were representative of the ordinary North
Carolinian during the early republic era and how Macon influenced later
politicians. Also, the Social
History Conference at Western Carolina University accepted Troy’s
presentation proposal on black apprentices and orphans during
Reconstruction and how the study of children can reveal what values
societies most cherish.
