Alamance Or The Great And Final Experiment is a historical novel written by Calvin Henderson Wiley. The book explores the events leading up to the Battle of Alamance, which took place in North Carolina in 1771. The story follows the lives of several characters, including farmers, merchants, and politicians, as they navigate the political and social tensions of the time.The novel delves into the conflicts between the colonists and the British authorities, as well as the tensions between different factions of the colonists themselves. It also examines the role of slavery in the region and the impact it had on the lives of both slaves and slave owners.Through vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling, Wiley brings to life the people and events that shaped the history of North Carolina and the United States. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history and the struggles and triumphs of the people who lived through it.Now, Phil Blister noticed the frequent visits of the judge, and, inflamed with jealousy, and satisfied that the lady of his heart was an object of interest to every one, he briskly pushed on his suit. Miss Artemesia, believing that she had three strings to her bow, and having mentally arranged her suitors into a sort of sliding-scale, at the top of which was the judge, and at the bottom Phil Blister, was not in a hurry to make up her mind in regard to the latter's proposals. Thus was Phil in great mental agony for several weeks, and, putting all his wits to work, and riding day and night, he fairly deluged the neighbourhood with lies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
