This is the best worst written book I have ever read. Or maybe it is the worst best written book I have ever read. Either way, everyone should read it.

The blood of Alamance County, NC had Baptist cause at its foundationand the leader of the regulator movement was a Baptist and Governor Tryon wanted a Baptist preachers head in a charger
