Soft cover. Condición: New. No Jacket. By: Robert S. Davis, Jr., Pub. 1981, Reprinted 2002, 268 pages, maps, Index, ISBN #0-89308-199-X. This is one of the most comprehensive guides to research sources in Georgia and especially the Georgia Department of Archives and History. Mr. Davis has painstakingly surveyed the records and their locations and compiled a book that is a watershed for Georgia historians and genealogists. It is written as a guide, leading him or her step-by-step to the records - many of which are unknown to even the most experienced researcher due to long years of neglect. The inclusion of an outline to the county material on microfilm can help many a traveler to realize that a trip to the archives is more useful than one to the county courthouse. I can think of no better book with which people can use as a beginning tool for research in Georgia - Ken Thomas, Genealogy, The Atlanta Constitution. Outline of Contents: General Subject and County Index: Dept. guide explaining the various records and their potential genealogical value. Other Resources: periodicals, listing titles and addresses of over 35 genealogical and historical periodicals of specific interest, maps. County Records: an inventory. Basic lists by county of microfilmed records with indications for particular time periods when particular records are not available, with date of creation of each county and its number in order of creation and the name of the county it was formed from. Tax Digests: Basic discussion of the specific usefulness of tax records, with a lists of those on microfilm at the archives. Census Records: census records that are available at the Archives on microfilm for Georgia by year, as well as other states. County Histories: Bibliography of histories with specific genealogical references of approximately 1,000 titles. Land Lotteries & Colonial Records: comprehensive inventory of colonial books or records and loose documents, with reel numbers specifying their location in the Archives Microfilm Library, plus an extensive list of publications in which printed copies of these may be found in abstracted form.

Hardcover. Condición: New. No Jacket. By: Robert S. Davis, Jr., Pub. 1979, Reprinted 1983, 266 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-169-8. More than 1,700 citizens, 1,000 Patriot soldiers, and 800 Loyalists are included in this volume. Also, records of many Virginians who served in Georgia Continentals; of members of South Carolina Continental units in Georgia; and some South Carolina Loyalists are also included. This book will be a MUST for those looking for Revolutionary War service for a Georgia ancestor since the D.A.R. no longer accepts the undocumented records from McCall¿s three volumes on Georgia Revolutionary War soldiers and only small portions from Lucian Lamar Knight¿s volume on Georgia in the Revolution.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition silver gray boards with navy blue cloth spine and red spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication and Acknowledgments; List of Illustrations; Introduction; Notes and Contributors. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, black-and-white drawings and a black-and-white photographic frontispiece. Signed by the author/editor, Gabor S. Boritt, with black pen at the center of the blank first free front endpaper. "It was Lincoln who said, "All this talk about the dissolution of the Union is humbug, nothing by folly." It was Loncoln whom abolitionist William Lloyd Farrison dismissed as "nothing better than a wet rag." And it was Loncoln who once argued, "Any people anywhere, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government .Any portion of such people may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit." Clearly there was far more to this man - and his era - than meets the eye. In Lincoln, the War President, no fewer than five Pulitzer Prize-winning historians - Carl Degler, James McPherson, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., David Brion Davis, and Robert Bruce - join eminent historian Kenneth Stampp and editor Gabor Boritt to offer a fresh look at how Lincoln confronted the central issues of the Civil War era, throwing sharp new light on the revolutionary changes he helped usher in. Kenneth Stampp explores the issue of self-determination, illuminating Lincoln's views and comparing the South's struggle for independence to others in history (including the post-Soviet situation in eastern Europe). Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., offers a provocative comparison of how Lincoln and our other outstanding are president, FDR, went beyond the limits of the Constitution in defense of the nation and freedom - as they understood them. David Brion Davis focuses on both the exhilarating moment of emancipation and its disappointing results. Gabor Boritt traces Lincoln's transition from strident opponent of the MIxican War, to resolute war leader ("Destroy the rebel army," were his terse orders), to speaking out for reconciliation (after Appomattox he exclaimed, "Enemies, never again must we repeat that word"). Carl Degler compares the Civil War as a successful attempt at true national unification with the unifications of Italy, Germany, and even Switzerland (which waged a fraternal war not many years earlier). Robert Bruce provides an incisive look at the premonitions of civil war that haunted the American republic since independence, including Loncoln's reluctance to accept war as a possibility. And James McPherson establishes once and for all Lincoln's brilliance as a national strategist. istorians have often criticized specific military decisions Lincoln made, McPherson writes, ignoring his grasp of an overall natinal strategy that calculated political, economic, and military needs together. These outstanding essays - all but one published here for the first time - offer a new understanding of a revolutionary epoch in American history, and of the role of the leader who helped transform the nation forever." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
