Sallie Stockard (1869-1963),the first female graduate of the University of North Carolina, published three county histories, 1900-1904. Thereafter, she lived an obscure, difficult, and revealing life. Encouraged by New South educational mentors, she countered restrictions on women with diligence and self-promotion. Carole Troxler discloses Stockard's professional and personal hindrances, resourcefulness, failures, and triumph, following her to New England, the Southwest, and New York. Like her subject, Troxler lives in Alamance County, and her publications include its history.
Carole Watterson Troxler is professor emerita of history at Elon University and the co-author (with William Murray Vincent) of Shuttle & Plow: A History of Alamance County, North Carolina (1999) and author of Farming Dissenters: The Regulator Movement in Piedmont North Carolina (2011).
