Mattson of Chazlotte, NC. (Dr. Mattson also wrote <br />The History and Architecture of Nash County, North Carolina.) The manuscript is accompanied by <br />108 black and white prints of the most significant historic sites of Orange County. Dr. Mattson also <br />wrote captions for these photographs. The manuscript also contains an azcheological component, <br />written by Patricia Samford and Stephen Davis of the Reseazch Laboratory of Archeology at the <br />University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. <br />Additional materials will be collected for the publication.
