Welcome to my web site!
On this home page, my latest book is introduced,
followed on other pages by a description of my other fourteen books on either Clarke, Hancock, Jackson or Wilkes counties.
You might also be interested in looking at some of the old recipes and remedies that I ran across while abstracting the
old newspapers. They bring to mind the difficulties in cooking many years ago. Some recipes have variations, but are still
used in one form or another today. Use the remedies with caution, please!
I sincerely hope my books aid in your genealogical research!

The Southern Watchman, Athens, Georgia,
Civil War Home Front Coverage, 1861-1865.
This publication furnishes abstracts and transcriptions from The Southern Watchman
newspaper during the Civil War period, including many rosters of various companies in NE Georgia, casualty lists of dead,
wounded and missing soldiers, and articles showing how the war affected those people remaining on the home front. There are
many obituaries, some marriages, and miscellaneous articles, mostly dealing with living conditions, i.e., shortages of salt,
escalated prices of food and other necessities, farm products, etc.
For the most part, detailed accounts of battles have not been repeated unless soldiers
from Georgia were enumerated in the battles, and then the articles were abstracted. Letters from soldiers in camps or on the
battlefields have been included which give a great deal of insight as to actual camp and battle conditions. Legal notices
are listed in a section entitled "Schedule of Legal Notices," & include notices from the counties of Clarke, Franklin,
Gwinnett, Habersham, Hall, Jackson, Madison, Oglethorpe, Rabun, Walton, and White.
This is an excellent book for genealogists, historians, or others who might want
to learn more about how the Civil War affected Georgia citizens. Two indexes: personal name index and a subject/place index.
Includes a list of abbreviations, photos of some of Georgia’s heros, etc.
8 ½ x 11", 586 + xiv = 600 pages, hardbound $42.00
(price includes postage and/or any applicable taxes)
