Excerpt from The School of the Prophets: A Biographical Sketch of Three Remarkable MenThe comparatively small patch of land lying be tween the Brushy Mountains and the Catawba River, officially designated Alexander County, North Caro lina, and known far and wide as Little Aleck has probably produced a larger number of eminent men and women than any other plot of ground of the same size and population on the North American Contin ent. They have gone out into all parts of the world and into almost every walk of life, each with a marked degree of success and an enviable record of service.It was the Hon. Romulus Z. Linney, I believe, who once said that the territory lying around the foot of the Rocky Face Mountain for five or six miles in each direction had given to the world a larger number of useful citizens than any other rural section of the same size on the face of the earth.Alexander County has long been noted for her large number of native preachers. Among them are found the names of Gwaltney, Poole, Bumgarner, Steele, Crouch, Davis, Thomas, York, Rowe, Bagwell, Steven son, Teague, Oxford, White, Pennell, Barnes, Watts, Cline, Keller and many others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
