In telling the story of the North Carolina Railroad's independent years (1849-71), Trelease covers all aspects of the company and its development, including its construction and rolling stock; its management, labor force, and labor policies; its passenger and freight operations; and its role in the Civil War. He also assesses the impact of the railroad on the economic and social development of North Carolina. Originally published in 1991.

(Founded in 1892 as North Carolina's first state college f...)
Founded in 1892 as North Carolina's first state college for women, the State Normal and Industrial School quickly transcended its name and original mission. From the beginning, founder and first President Charles Duncan McIver and his colleagues strove to attain full college status, centering on the liberal arts. By 1919, that goal was a reality and the institution became the North Carolina College for Women. McIver's successor, Julius I. Foust, set out to make it the state's university for women, parallel to the university at Chapel Hill. That dream evaporated in the Depression as the Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Greensboro campuses consolidated under a single board and most of the graduate work went to Chapel Hill. The Greensboro campus became the UNC Woman's College, or WC. In 1963, all the UNC campuses became coeducational and WC became the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, or UNCG. UNCG has become a metropolitan university—a category sometimes called the land-grant universities of the 21st century. Like its peers, UNCG offers of national, if not worldwide, repute, yet draws the great majority of its students from the surrounding Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point metropolitan area; three-quarters now live off campus. And reflecting its Woman's College origins as well as a national trend, two-thirds are female. This book traces the many, sometimes dramatic changes seen at the school/college/university from its 1892 beginning until 1994. They include the physical campus; administrative leadership; faculty organization, status, and professional allegiance (the institution versus one's academic discipline); the curriculum; student identity, culture, and struggles to win freedom from parietal regulations; and shifting alumni relations. For many years, a perception of underfunding and neglect from above bred identity problems on campus. Recent years brought other problems, from campus expansion and resultant friction with its neighbors, to controversy over athletic scholarships, to a brief war over control of the Alumni Association. Making North Carolina Literate should be of interest to UNCG alumni, faculty, and students; to readers concerned with North Carolina history, women's history, and the history of higher education.

First published in 1960, Indian Affairs in Colonial New York remains the only one-volume study of Indian-European relations in seventeenth-century New York. In the first half of this book, Allen W. Trelease describes the Dutch period that followed Henry Hudson's 1609 voyage and details New Netherland's dealings with the Algonquian peoples of the Hudson Valley and Long Island. The second half of the book, addressing the English period after 1664, emphasizes the colonists' relations with the Iroquois. Still widely cited and read, this pioneering work remains an authoritative study of its subject and a valuable contribution to the historiography of both seventeenth-century colonial New York and Indian-European relations in this formative period.
