About This Item

Orig. pub. 1990. Print on Demand Edition 2014. (x), 432 pp., maps, appendix, index

With publication of The Land Between, Forrest Shivers gave Georgia a carefully researched, new history of Hancock County, founded in 1793 in the area between the Oconee and Ogeechee rivers. Beginning with the settlement of the area just after the American Revolution, he carries the story of the county through early Oconee Wars with the Creek Indians in the 1700s; through the birth and early reign of King Cotton; through Hancock County's Civil War participation and the demise of an economic and political system; through World War I, the boll weevil, and the Great Depression; and finally into social life, politics, and agriculture of the twentieth century. Hancock was an archetypal plantation county and home to some of the most successful and enlightened planters in the South prior to 1860. In fact buildings remaining from the period make Sparta, the county seat, a mecca for architecture buffs today. Names such as Mercers, Bemans, Pierces, Abercrombies, Dickson, Stephens, Lewis, Berckmans, Walkers, and the Hancock Planters Club march through the history's pages leaving their legacy which endures to this day. The late author Shivers was a seventh-generation native of Hancock who was retired from the United States Foreign Service.

About The Reprint Company Publishers

The Reprint Company Publishers dates its origins to the mid-1950s when my father, who was editor of the local Spartanburg SC Journal, an afternoon newspaper, became involved with the serialized publication of John B.O. Landrum's History of Spartanburg County in the paper. He then issued that as a hardback book in 1959. Over the next ten years, he published about thirty reprints. I became publisher in 1970 and began moving it from a hobby-business to a fulltime occupation.In the early 1970s, I was contacted by the North Carolina Library Association concerning a list of out-of-print North Carolina titles which they felt should be reprinted. Jointly we developed a project which allowed all of the books to be published. Over the next fifteen years, I worked with library associations throughout the South and published reprint editions of approximately three hundred books.From that time to the present, I have been involved in the publication of over six hundred titles with the areas of specialization remaining local and regional history, scholarly material, and genealogical source material for the Southeastern area.The vast majority of our books are hardback and are printed on a long-life paper with a neutral pH factor. We are using Print on Demand technology to bring the better of our backlist titles back into print. Those titles are listed as Print on Demand and are printed upon receipt of an order and ship directly from the bindery within three to ten business days.
