Orig. pub. 1953, 1962. Reprinted 1983, 2003. Print on Demand Edition, 2009. The set The Pascagoula River Valley includes Jackson County, Mississippi, and George County, which was part of Jackson County for a century. The existing written and legendary material on this region has been brought together in the first volume of this set, entitled History, Story, and Legend of the Pascagoula Country, which covers the history of the territory up to 1817. Part I of Volume II (History and Genealogy of the Pascagoula River Country) covers additional history of the region, from 1812 to 1960. Part II of Volume II, over half the book, is devoted to genealogy: names of immigrants coming into the region, the census of 1850, families of 1860, cemetery records, and Bible records. Three courthouse fires in Jackson County make this volume particularly valuable as a source of genealogical records.

Orig. pub. Mobile 1890. Reprinted 1975, 1988 from 1892 ed.. Print on Demand Edition 2011. (ii), 12, 376 pp., frontis DeLeon, an accomplished author, wrote this book almost immediately after the war, revising and condensing notes and recollections gathered during its most trying times. The book is unique in that DeLeon experienced many events that other writers of the times largely glossed over. As a civilian, he wrote of the politics of the Confederacy and described many of the tensions within the government. He omits the campaigns and battles which he did not see and which have been the subject of so many writings. Instead he had the object of trying to paint honestly the inner life of the South and what was going on in its cities and towns as the war waged on. Geographically, it covers the war throughout the South but with the largest emphasis on happenings in Alabama and Virginia.
