Orig. pub. Charleston 1809. Reprinted 1959-60, 1968, 1971 from 1858 ed.. Print on Demand Edition 2009. The set This two-volume history of South Carolina, written by a Charleston physician, legislator, and one of the first historians of the state, covers the events of South Carolina history from 1670 to 1808.

n.p.n.d., Reprinted 1976, 1988. Print on Demand Edition 2011. (iii), 245 pp., new index Brief historical sketches and rolls and rosters of military organizations in the service of the Confederacy from the state of Mississippi are included in this book compiled by a member of the 10th Mississippi Regiment. This is a compilation of several newspaper sketches of Mississippi's military contributions to the Civil War effort. Some regiments are covered in chronological order with muster rolls, lists of engagements, and narrative reports, when available. While certainly not a complete state history, this primary source material has value and should not be overlooked. A comprehensive new index has been added to this reprint edition.

An original publication, 1995. xx, 146 pp., illus., index This book is the result of research done by Ellen Clinkscales Smith Rippy on her Smith and Sullivan family lines. Much of her work on the Sullivan history was facilitated by research previously available from other members of the family on the Sullivans, Brownlees, Dunklins, Hueys, Walkers, Clinkscales, Moorheads, and Gilkeys. Research into the Smith line was made more difficult because of some apparent conflicts in the line of descent and a lack of availability of authentic records. But, she finally placed the Smiths on the Broad River at Smith's Ford, in Cherokee County. John Smith was buried on this land and information on his headstone indicated that he had been born in Botetourt County, Virginia. Further research established that John's father was Henry Smith who had come to South Carolina from the Upper Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia. From the Smith's Ford location in South Carolina, children would later move into Anderson County and… Read More
