- A Gazetteer of the State of Georgia
- (Book - Genealogical.com) : The third edition of Sherwood's Georgia gazetteer delivers far more than its title might suggest. To be sure, roughly half of the volume is devoted to detailed descriptions of places in Georgia of every conceivable size and shape many of which are no longer in use but are likely to crop up in a genealogical investigation. Preceding the gazetteer itself is an excellent overview of Georgia history and an account of the institutions and living conditions in evidence at the time of the book's original publication in 1837. -
- Atlanta: An Illustrated History
-
(Book - Amazon.com) : Filled with images from Atlanta's archives, this short history features the personalities and locales of the economic and cultural capital of the Southeast. At its founding in 1837, Atlanta was filled with saloons and brothels, such that it was more like an Old West frontier town than a white-gloved city of the Old South. Highlighting the city's rebirth from the devastation of the Atlanta Campaign to its renaissance beginning in the 1960s, Atlanta's troubling racialized past is underscored, and the city's historically rich neighborhoods, including Ansley Park, Buckhead, and Druid Hills, are celebrated. -
- Historical Collections of Georgia
- (Book - Genealogical.com) : This is a major collection of colonial and Revolutionary documents, biographical sketches of prominent persons, lists of early settlers, militia rolls and lists of soldiers and officers in the Revolution, and county-by-county sketches from the first settlement of Georgia down to the middle of the 19th century. The accounts of the counties include traditions, statistics, early settlers, and abstracts from the census of 1850. About one-third of the book is devoted to a collection of documents dealing with the colonial and Revolutionary periods, while a 41-page Appendix gives the principal statistics of the whole state as taken from the census of 1850. Since the work is an outstanding genealogical source for Georgia, we have added to the original work A.C. Dutton's Name Index of 58 pages, which was originally published by the Sons of the American Revolution. This index of 7,000 names supplements the 14-page subject index which comes with the work itself. -
- The Story of Georgia and the Georgia People, 1732 to 1860
- (Book - Genealogical.com) : This work consists largely of accounts and lists of early settlers and settlements, historical sketches of Georgia counties, and the following appendices: Headrights Granted by the Colonial and State Governments from 1754 to 1800, a List of Soldiers of the Line, a List of Soldiers Paid in Money, and a List of Bounty Warrants. -
