Georgia Counties
 Some Early Tax Digests of Georgia In the absence of the 1790, 1800, and 1810 censuses of Georgia, these early tax lists are a Godsend, standing in as almost perfect substitutes for the missing enumerations and in many ways improving on the detail found in most old census records. The counties for which tax records are provided, are as follows: Camden, Chatham, Glynn, Hancock, Lincoln, Montgomery, Pulaski, Richmond, Warren, and Wilkes.  Powhatan's Mantle: Indians in the Colonial Southeast  "For any course aimed at covering either southeastern Indians or southeastern colonial history in any real depth, it should be required reading." - Georgia Historical Quarterly  The Atlanta Riot: Race, Class, And Violence In A New South City (Southern Dissent)  Gregory Mixon traces the roots of the Atlanta Riot of 1906, exploring the intricate political, social, and urban conditions that led to one of the defining events of race relations in southern and African-American history. On September 22, 1906, several thousand white Atlantans rioted, ostensibly because they believed that black men had committed "repeated assaults on the white women of Fulton County," according to newspapers at the time. Four days after the massacre began, 32 people had died and 70 were wounded.  "All serious genealogists will need to consult it frequently."

 U.S. Military Records: A Guide to Federal and State Sources, Colonial America to the Present Most families have one or more members who served in America's armed forces. Enlistment records, muster rolls, and pension applications are extremely valuable because they often contain detailed personal information. U.S. Military Records describes the records that are available and where they can be found.  AniMap Plus Version 2.6 Start finding those old towns and counties. Just about every researcher deals with the problem of finding an old town that has long-since disappeared from the map. Or, you have a known location but it was not in the same county 100 or 200 years ago. AniMap Plus now has solutions to these problems. AniMap Plus version 2.6 will display over 2,300 maps to show the changing county boundaries for each of the 48 adjacent United States for every year since colonial times. It includes all years, not just the census years. Maps may be viewed separately, or the program can set them in motion so you can automatically view the boundary changes.   Stealing Lincoln's Body "The coffin of Abraham Lincoln today reposes in a steel cage encased in concrete, the consequence of a bizarre body-snatching scheme hatched in 1876. Craughwell, drawn to oddities of history..., explains that counterfeiters who yearned to spring a confederate from the Illinois penitentiary dreamed up the idea of extorting a pardon in exchange for Lincoln's remains. This origin to a macabre night of smash-and-grab pilferage occupies Craughwell's preliminaries: he profiles the post-Civil War counterfeiting scene and recounts the establishment of the Secret Service to combat it. Introducing his cast, Craughwell puts the characters in motion as they converge on Lincoln's Springfield catacomb, where eternity's silence was broken by saws, hammers, and wild gunfire. During the fiasco, the grave robbers escaped (temporarily) without their prize, leaving behind a cemetery custodian who hid Honest Abe behind a lumber pile until a more secure interment could be arranged--which took a quarter-century to accomplish... Craughwell's history of Lincoln's several reburials and their strange-but-true details is irresistible." - Gilbert Taylor, American Library Association.  A List of the Early Settlers of Georgia This is a list not only of the early settlers of Georgia but of the first settlers of Georgia, and it is a complete list of all those who were sent by the Trustees for Establishing the Colony of Georgia in America under Oglethorpe and the Earl of Egmont.  Jews and Gentiles in Early America: 1654-1800  Pencak approaches his topic from the perspective of early American, rather than strictly Jewish, history. Rich in colorful narrative and animated with scenes of early American life, Jews and Gentiles in Early America tells the story of the five communities-New York, Newport, Charleston, Savannah, and Philadelphia-where most of colonial America's small Jewish population lived. |
