Dictionary of North Carolina Biography

The most comprehensive state project of its kind the <i>Dictionary</i> provides information on some 4000 notable North Carolinians whose accomplishments and occasional misdeeds span four centuries. Much of the bibliographic information found in the six volumes has been compiled for the first time. All of the persons included are deceased. They are native North Carolinians no matter where they made the contributions for which they are noted or non-natives whose contributions were made in North Carolina.
