Welcome, author Scott Syfert!

Scott Syfert is a native of Charlotte.  He practices business and corporate law at Moore & Van Allen with a focus on international business transactions.  He studied history and political science at UNC-Chapel Hill and the London School of Economics.  He received his Master’s Degree in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia and his J.D. from UNC.

He is a co-founder of the May 20th Society whose goal is to continue the commemoration of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence but more broadly to celebrate Charlotte’s revolutionary spirit.  Since that time, the Society has brought many national historians to speak in Charlotte, including David McCullough and Ken Burns; completed the Charlotte Liberty Walk; and erected a statue to Captain James Jack on the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.

Scott’s first book The First Declaration of Independence? The Disputed History of the Mecklenburg Declaration of May 20, 1775 was a definitive study of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence Controversy.

His newest book, Eminent Charlotteans, published March 2018, describes the lives and times of 12 eminent figures from Charlotte’s storied history, including:

• King Haigler.  Leader of the Catawba Indian Nation during the 1700s.
• Joseph Graham.  Scots Irish settler who led the patriots in the Battle of Charlotte.
• Ishmael Titus.   An African-American slave who fought against the British for the freedom of America.
• Dr. Annie Alexander.  The first female physician in North Carolina.

All SAR, DAR, SR, Boy Scout Troops, CMS Classes, Retirement Communities,
and History Enthusiasts are invited
