How a frontier county stood up for liberty in 1774–75 A primary‑source chronicle of the Tryon County Committee of Safety, this book presents the minutes, resolutions, and correspondence that framed local resistance to Parliament’s acts. It captures how community leaders organized, debated rights, and coordinated with New York and Philadelphia during a pivotal moment in American history.

The material offers a concrete view of civic action, showing how delegates, committees, and freeholders drafted statements, formed a standing committee, and supervised actions in the Palatine and Mohawk districts. It reveals the tone and texture of colonial governance at the local level, including how towns prepared for external threats and how communities sought to defend their liberties.

- Read the actual minutes and resolutions that document early colonial self‑government in action
- See how committees connected districts to larger Continental efforts and the Albany correspondence
- Understand the practical steps taken to manage security, assemblies, and cooperation with other counties
- Note the language and stakes of the period, including loyalty, taxation, and the push for local governance

Ideal for readers of colonial history, civic‑militia studies, and genealogists tracing Tryon County families and connections to the 18th‑century American Revolution.
