2018-07 - News from the Carolina Room | Charlotte Mecklenburg Story

A new exhibit, “Weather Events in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Prior to Official Records,” is now available on cmstory.org. Whether you are a weather watcher, or just a curious observer, you can now learn about significant weather events between 1816-1877 here and around the Queen City at https://www.cmstory.org/exhibits/historic-weather. Compiled by our ace volunteer, Ken Saunders, Librarian Tom Cole has made Internet sleuthing options flexible, so you can search the weather chronologically, by weather type, or by day of the month. On these hot summer days, you might want to read about the snow storms last!

We have many books that are biographical histories and genealogies of many of the leading citizens of various counties. Several of the titles below are just the type of book some of you are searching for because they have the family, educational and business background of prominent men. Sometimes they have a photograph or drawing of the individual! I have often included the date of publication to indicate the time the sketches were completed. Some of the men mentioned in the book were often at the height of their careers. If the book was published around the turn of the last century, some of the people included were often born before 1850. The sketches are better than birth and death certificates because the people are often providing their own information for the publishers, who are just compiling what returned to them. You might call them a “vanity press” publication.
