The article critically appraises the book "Tar Heels," by Jonathan Daniels. Jonathan Daniels' biography of North Carolina, the second volume in the Sovereign States series, is concerned mainly with living people as he found them somewhere between tidewater and the mountains. Once North Carolinians regarded their state as "the valley of humiliation between two mountains of conceit" referring naturally to the First Families of Virginia and the aristocrats of South Carolina. Infant Tar Heels, even Daniels himself, started life with what he describes as "a belligerent sense of inferiority." In the last twenty-five years or so, however, they have pretty well overcome any lingering inferiority complexes.
