Contents.Production While filming The Carter (between 2007 and 2008), the filmmakers conducted no interviews with Carter. As told,'With Wayne, he was like, 'I don't want to do anything that's really missionary.
I want to give this a whole, new, fresh approach, so I don't necessarily want to do a formal sit-down interview.' 'The film was shot in a style, with the production team following the artist during his tours, and conducting interviews with his manager and other associates.

LIPPINCOTT & CO., PHILADELPHIA.^^NJC.-IO//^.^,'^Ar^^'^'fPREFACE.The design of this work is to give the two counties treated an impartial, faithfulchronicle of their past from the date of earliest settlement down to recent times. Its scope,p f^-iginally planned and laid out, seemed more than ample, yet so very much that wasvr.dble for record and for preservation was gathered in the rich historic field wherein wehave delved tha notwithstanding arduous labor at condensation, it has far outgrown itsproposed dimensions. The author only regrets that his labors must now cease, as everypassing day is adding to the treasures developed by historical research.
But here the super-structure is reared upon which the future historians of these counties may build. We havestriven to gather the scattered threads of the past and to weave them into a complete fabric,to which the 'Art preservative of arts' shall give immortality.Over one year of patient, painstaking, and conscientious labor has been devoted to theabove design by the author and his numerous staff of assistants, supplemented by the con-tributions of many of the ablest citizens of these counties, — equal to nearly ten years ofconstant effort of one, person. The result is embodied in this vohime; but the obstacles andvexations attendant upon its preparation will hardly be realized by those who peruse itspages.

Lord Macaulay has said that perfection in historical composition was not attainableby fallible men. If there be no errors of fact or date in the legion of items herein con-tained, we shall feel that the great English historian was at fault.We have given many items of local history which may by some be thought trivial orbeneath the 'dignity of history.' But who is competent to judge of what may be valuable orinteresting to those who come after us? Much valuable information has undoubtedly been lostto the world by the fastidious views of many historical writers.
