http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19465335

Political and official correspondence of Clark as governor of North Carolina during the Civil War; military papers, and other materials, mainly dating from 1840-1862. Includes comments on state and national politics of the ante-bellum decade, patronage letters, discussions of the state's part in the Confederacy, requests for military appointments, and letters relating to Clark's pardon and to legal aspects of Reconstruction. Of interest are the several records of slave hire. The personal and family correspondence pertains to social life in Washington, D.C. (1829-1830), to Salem Academy (1838), to cotton culture and prices, to floods on the Tombigbee River (1842), and to the temperance movement in Alabama.
