Book Description
Few places in the United States feel the impact of courthouse disasters like the state of Georgia. Over its history, 75 of the state's counties have suffered 109 events resulting in the loss or severe damage of their courthouse or court offices. This book documents those destructive events, including the date, time, circumstance, and impact on records. Each county narrative is supported by historical accounts from witnesses, newspapers, and legal documents. Maps show the geographic extent of major courthouse fires. Record losses are described in general terms, helping researchers understand which events are most likely to affect their work.

Book Description
George R. Lamplugh, a historian of Georgia and the South, explores some of his home states most fascinating historical events, beginning with the American Revolution and continuing through the 1850s, in this well-researched collection of essays. He covers political factionalism during the American Revolution; the development of political parties in Georgia (which was different from the process in other states); and the impact of the Yazoo Land Fraud on Georgias political development. Some of the most fascinating essays focus on the maneuverings of individual politicians, such as William Few, who was determined to exert local influence after the American Revolution by having the Richmond County courthouse and jail, and hence the county polling place, constructed in the settlement of Brownsborough rather than in Augusta. More complex issues get equal treatment, such as how after the War of 1812, political parties in Georgia began to slowly adopt policies that were popular in other stateseven though that meant hurting Creeks, Cherokees, and slaves. While Georgia didnt always live up to democratic ideals, its political history teaches us a lot about our past and possible future.

Book Description
Local histories and genealogical records are fascinating and are a valuable tool for anyone tracing their roots. The records compiled in this book are especially important to those researching their African-American heritage, those with ancestors who moved from Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, as well as other counties in Georgia. Keep in mind, if your ancestor fought in the Revolutionary War, he may have moved to Georgia in order to participate in the many land grants and lotteries. There were also thousands of Quakers who lived here.Records in this collection include marriage records, deeds, and wills, as well as some miscellaneous records - over 3,000 in al, covering the years 1770-1820.As a genealogist researching her family for over 25 years, I "just knew" that one of my lines lived and died in Pennsylvania. It was quite a surprise when I found that line right here in Columbia County! So, keep an open mind, keep researching and learning. Remember, those brick walls we all experience may be broken just by reading this book. Good Luck!!!
