The James Larkin Pearson Library is located on the lower campus of Wilkes Community College. This combination library and museum houses the writings, correspondence, books, and memorabilia of Wilkes County native James Larkin Pearson, who was the North Carolina Poet Laureate from 1953 to 1981.
Exhibits of Pearson’s printing presses, newspapers, and other artifacts are on permanent display in Lowes Hall and may be viewed during the college’s regular operating hours. Pearson’s writings, correspondence, and other documents are housed in Pardue Library on the second floor of Alumni Hall and are available by appointment only.

“My fingers and my toes,
My feet and my hands,
Are jist as cold
As you ever see’d a man’s”
In early boyhood, James Larkin Pearson was determined to become a poet. He had little formal education, and early in life he worked on the farm and did some carpentering. Pearson says of his schooling: “Had only a very moderate liking for history and geography, and couldn’t endure arithmetic at all. Liked my old Fourth Reader very well, because it had some poetry in it, was set down as a hopeless case, who there was no use trying to educate. Quit school entirely at 16, having never been in school more than 12 months, from first to last.” He further states that he “Worked on the farm till I was 21 years old. Many of my poems were composed as I went about my work on the farm. I always carried my notebook and pencil to the field with me, and as I trudged between the plow-handles in the hot sunshine, my mind was busy working out a poem.”
In the early 1900’s Pearson worked with R. Don Laws on The Yellow Jacket, a highly successful paper printed at Moravian Falls, NC. Some few years later, Mr. Pearson began his own paper, The Fool-Killer. This paper was a success, acquiring a circulation of some 50,000 subscribers.
On May 1,1907, James Larkin Pearson married Cora Wallace. During the years with his first wife, the Pearson’s adopted a daughter, Agnes, who arrived in their home on the “Fifty Acres” near Boomer, in May 1923. After many years, of being a semi-invalid, Cora passed away in 1934. Five years later, he met Eleanor Fox of Guilford College and got married again. “She was also a precious sweet person and I lived happily with her for 23 years.”
After the death of Eleanor, he decided he should return to North Wilkesboro, to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Agnes Eller. He built a library/office/print shop building on the lot to the rear of his daughter’s home on Sparta Road. In this building is where he housed his collection of memorabilia, books, and printing press. This collection was to become the James Larkin Pearson Library, housed on the campus of Wilkes Community College.
Pearson’s publications include, Castle Gates, Fifty Acres and Other Selected Poems, Early Harvest, Pearson’s Poems, Plowed Ground, Selected Poems of James Larkin Pearson, and My Fingers and My Toes. On August 4, 1953, Governor William B. Umstead appointed Pearson as the North Carolina Poet Laureate of the State. He held this post until his death, on August 27, 1981.

Crouch, Paul. Wilkes County native with connections to the U. S. Communist Party, who was a key witness against the Communist Party to the U. S. Senate.
The Paul Crouch file contains 53 letters from Crouch to James Larkin Pearson and to Crouch from Pearson and various family members; newspaper clippings from the Daily Worker and other uncited publications, one and a half linear feet of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s file on Crouch, and the following four fliers advertising political events.
Sacco and Vanzetti Protest Meeting and Picnic notice. [Digital image.]
Monster Protest Meeting and Demonstration against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti. [Digital image.]
These fliers advertise meetings in protest of the execution of Italian immigrants and anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Sacco, a shoemaker, and Vanzetti, a fish peddler, were accused in May of 1920 of murdering a Massachusetts shoe company paymaster. During their trial, it was obvious to many that the political character of the accused was more important to the prosecutors, judge and jurors than were the facts of the murder itself. Set against the backdrop of the Red Scare of the early 1920’s, Sacco and Vanzetti’s case seemed to be more a trial accusing the two of being Communists than murderers. Political groups like the International Labor Defense league and the Minneapolis International Labor Defense Committee protested vehemently against the execution and used the debate to continue their press for labor reforms.
Anti-Imperialist Rally Against President Hoover’s “War Trip to Latin America.” [Digital image.]
This flier probably refers to President Herbert Hoover’s goodwill visit to Latin American in 1928. The All-American Anti-Imperialist League was formed in 1925 to form an international alliance to promote independence for American colonies and an end to the economic imperialism of the United States. After the U. S. Marines invaded Nicaragua in 1928 during a revolution in that country, the Anti-Imperialist League mounted a huge propaganda campaign, holding rallies, such as the one advertised in this flier, and achieving national coverage in the New York Times. It is interesting to note, however, that one of Herbert Hoover’s greatest achievements while in office was the removal of all the U. S. military presence from Latin America, even though many of those nations owed large debts to the United States.
Protest Against United States Involvement in the Chinese Revolution. [Digital image.]
This flier probably refers to the conflict between the Chinese Nationalist Party (the Guomindang or Kuo Min Tang) and the Chinese Communist Party, which lasted from around 1926-1928. Many American radicals were in support of the CCP, and wanted to prevent the United States military from becoming involved.
