About this title

Synopsis

A window into a 19th‑century state investigation into alleged fraud and political intrigue

This edition presents the text of a historical government commission report from 1871–72. It catalogs testimony about public offices, railroads, and financial dealings that shaped North Carolina’s politics after the Civil War. Read about how stock purchases, personal ties, and official duties intersected with the handling of state property and public funds. The document offers a firsthand look at the voices and concerns of witnesses and their roles within a complex legal inquiry.

Follow the sworn testimony of keepers of the capitol and other public officers as they describe duties, property transfers, and records.
See how auditors’ reports and the management of tools, grounds, and building assets were discussed in public sessions.
Learn about the limits of oversight, the handling of state assets, and the questions raised by private railroad stock and bonds.
Get a sense of the tone, pace, and procedural style of a commission examining charges of corruption and mismanagement.

Ideal for readers of historical government documents, courtroom transcripts, or studies of Reconstruction‑era politics who want a ground‑level view of how state business was conducted and questioned in the 1870s.

Exclusive excerpted testimony from multiple witnesses, including notes on property custody and turnover.
Insights into how pricing, stock transfers, and mortgage arrangements were described in official proceedings.
Context for the era’s debates over governance, finance, and accountability.

This edition stands as a focused resource for researchers, students, and general readers interested in postwar governance, public works, and the legal framework used to scrutinize public administration.

Ideal for readers of historical inquiry into American state politics and the aftermath of the Civil War.
