{"product_id":"charlotte-and-the-american-revolution-richard-plumer-9781626195424","title":"Charlotte and the American Revolution:: Reverend Alexander Craighead, the Mecklenburg Declaration and the Foothills Fight for Independence","description":"Charlotte was a hotbed of Revolutionary activity well before the fervency of revolt reached its boiling point in New England. Considered a wild frontier region at the time, Mecklenburg County welcomed the Reverend Alexander Craighead with ready hands for battle. Craighead's fiery rhetoric inspired the people of the region to action. What resulted was the creation of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, the first such document in the nation, and although the county had less than 3 percent of the colony's population, its Patriots accounted for over one-quarter of North Carolina's Revolutionary troops. Join author Richard P. Plumer as he reveals how the Queen City played an integral role in the formation of a proud and free America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Plumer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626195420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626195424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Richard Plumer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979426693375,"sku":"9781626195424","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efb722f7-1fee-4d57-9479-96b5f800567e.jpg?v=1683245482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charlotte-and-the-american-revolution-richard-plumer-9781626195424","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
