Historical Note

James Henry Carlisle [1825-1909] was an educator, professor at Wofford College [1854-1875] and President of Wofford [1875-1902]. Rocky Mount, later known as Mount Dearborn, was the National Armory located on the Catawba River in Rocky Mount, SC from 1802-1829. Rocky Mount was located just below the Great Falls (sometimes called Catawba Falls) on the Catawba River. After the Catawba River was dammed by Duke Electric the "Great Falls" no longer existed although there is a town there by that name founded in 1907.
