Description:
Orig. pub. Salisbury, NC, 1801. Reprinted 1976. Print on Demand Edition 2011. viii, 76 pp., new intro., new index James Hall was an eminent Presbyterian clergyman, educator, and patriot who made a missionary journey in 1800-01 which laid the foundations of the Presbyterian Church in Mississippi. This first history of the Mississippi Territory was a by-product of Hall's journey down the perilous Natchez Trace to minister to the scattered Presbyterian congregations in the area. More an intelligent and informed historical sketch than an actual history, he describes the country and its boundaries, its form of government, and discusses such topics as the soil, climate, produce, manners and customs, population, and trade and commerce. This volume retains significance as a rare historical document and an eyewitness account.

Description:
Orig. pub. Selma, AL, 1879. Reprinted 1978. Print on Demand Edition 2017. xviii, 218 pp., new intro., new index This reprint edition of the first comprehensive history of Selma, Alabama, contains a new introduction to the work and its author and a new index. The history traces the development of the community "from one or two loghouses in 1815 to a populous and wealthy city in 1879." Selma was a center of commerce, the iron industry, and the slave trade and rendered important service to the Confederacy. Chapters concerning municipal government, railroads and manufacturing, churches and Sabbath schools, social organizations, Blacks, and biographical sketches of the founding and leading citizens of Selma are included. As founder and editor of the weekly newspaper, the Selma Sentinel, and mayor of the city from 1873 to 1875, Hardy had a full set of municipal records when he began his work. Most of those records have subsequently been lost or destroyed and his book preserves early incidents in the life…

Description:
Orig. pub. Fayetteville, NC, 1857-58. Reprinted 1961, 1966, 1969. Print on Demand Edition 2016. the set Francis L. Hawks was born in New Bern, NC. He was a lawyer, Episcopal priest, and college president. According to the late North Carolina historian, Dr. Hugh T. Lefler, "He had the broadest scholarship and literary attainments of any of the nineteenth-century North Carolina historians. . . .his two-volume history is of high quality, scholarly, original, and according to a competent contemporary reviewer remarkably sound and accurate." Volume One reprints many rare and valuable documents including the Raleigh charter of 1584, Barlowe's narrative, the account of the Grenville expedition, and Thomas Hariot's narrative, all dealing with the four separate expeditions (1584-1590) sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh to settle "Virginia." Although these expeditions ended up on the North Carolina coast, they helped lay the groundwork for the first permanent settlement at Jamestown twenty years later. Hawks's…

Description:
Orig. pub. London 1779. Reprinted 1962, 1971. Print on Demand Edition 2015. The set Dr. Alexander Hewatt (or Hewat) is known as the first historian of South Carolina and is best known for this two-volume work. He was a Presbyterian minister in Charleston from 1763 to 1777. Not sympathetic with the Patriot cause, he returned to England in 1775 but remained interested in South Carolina until his death in 1828. While the books are primarily South Carolina material with a strong Charleston and lowcountry emphasis, he also devotes considerable space to Virginia, North Carolina as a part of the Carolinas colony, and Georgia, in particular in Volume II. His history includes observations of the peoples of the area, accounts of slaves and the institution of slavery, and accounts of the Indians. He pays due attention to agriculture and economics in the colony. In his discussion of political events, he was obviously biased against the Proprietors and the Anglican Church but for the Royal government and the…

Description:
Orig. pub. Mobile, AL 1876. Reprinted 1975. Print on Demand Edition 2018. xv, 528 pp. This is an important book for the study of the organization of political parties in the South, consisting in great measure of original material. Alabama was the cradle of the Confederacy and William Lowndes Yancey was the moving spirit of secession. The book concentrates on political factions in Alabama in the 1850s and includes many of Yancey's speeches. Other Gulf states enter the picture with the intrusion of the federal government. Early Indian problems are covered as are South Carolina's Nullification efforts. Particularly intriguing is the dialogue within the Cotton Belt regarding the Border States. The author is concerned with examining the reasons for the secession of the southwestern states with an aim of obliterating sectional misunderstanding. He considers factors leading to secession in the context of Alabama history and the events of national history leading up to the election of Lincoln and the…

Description:
Orig. pub. Spartanburg 1981. Reprinted 1989, 1993, 1996. Print on Demand Edition 2018. (vi), 143 pp., index This volume consists of marriage and death notices from the three Baptist newspapers which were published in South Carolina before and during the Civil War. The Southern Baptist and General Intelligencer or later The Southern Watchman and General Intelligencer (1835-1837), The Southern Baptist (1847-1860), and The Confederate Baptist (1862-1865). The first two were published in Charleston and the last was published in Columbia. As the compiler, professional genealogist Brent H. Holcomb, notes "references to 'this city' should be noted appropriately." Although the Biblical Recorder gives its dateline as both Raleigh and Charleston, it was actually published in Raleigh and has not been included in this publication. The notices themselves pertain mainly to South Carolinians or persons with strong South Carolina connections. Of much interest are notices of persons who had removed to other states,…

Orig. pub. Spartanburg 1981. Reprinted 1989. Print on Demand Edition 2010. (vi), 152 pp., index Compiled by professional genealogist Brent H. Holcomb, this volume contains abstracts of marriage and death notices from all York (or Yorkville) newspapers which could be located. An unusual feature of this book is the fact that the Yorkville Enquirer has extant a complete file of newspapers for the period of the Civil War, a time when few newspapers in the South continued to publish. The newspapers in this volume contain marriage and death notices not only from the York area, but also from nearby South Carolina districts Union, Spartanburg, Lancaster, and Chester, and from Cleveland, Gaston, and Mecklenburg counties in North Carolina. In addition to the Yorkville Enquirer, which is the most complete, newspapers in this volume include: The Pioneer, The Pioneer and South Carolina Whig, Journal of the Times, The Yorkville Compiler, Yorkville Miscellany, and The Remedy.

Description:
Orig. pub. Baltimore 1894. Reprinted 1971, 1992. Print on Demand Edition 2009. 136 pp. The North Carolina coast in the colonial period furnished a haven for pirates, for its inlets and islands enabled those overly romanticized brigands, who preyed on the extensive shipping industry of Charleston, South Carolina, to escape pursuit. Drawn from colonial records and legislation, this book gives an authentic presentation of the pirate problem as it confronted not only North Carolina but also South Carolina and to a certain extent Virginia. One in a series of monographs under the auspices of Johns Hopkins University and the general editorship of Herbert Baxter Adams, this volume remains a standard source for those interested in both the glamour and the social consequences of piracy The author examines how the pirates arose, how they were regarded by the colonists and English authorities, how they affected life and commerce, and how they were exterminated. This presentation is enlivened with accounts of two…
