Remembering Concord: Articles from the "Look Back" Collection Helen Arthur-cornett

Helen Arthur-Cornett's columns on the history of Cabarrus County have garnered her a loyal following over the seventeen years that they have appeared in the Cabarrus Neighbors section of the Charlotte Observer. Gathered here for the first time are the most compelling articles she has written about the rich history of Concord, North Carolina.

We meet a delightful cast of characters whose stories offer a glimpse into the inner workings of a small town and tell of a truly independent way of life. Jacob Shinn discovering gold in a cotton field and the legend of Hamby Hill: these are just some of the anecdotes and vignettes that bring the history of the city to life.

Appealing to both "old-timers" and newcomers alike, Remembering Concord is sure to inform and entertain while at the same time preserving the valuable work of Helen Arthur-Cornett and the history she seeks to protect and share.
