History of Newton County, Mississippi, from 1834-1894 (Paperback)

Newton County, Mississippi, during the last two thirds of the nineteenth century, is the subject of this thorough history. The purpose of the author, as stated in the preface, is to "place before the public the most important persons of that period . . . to give an early appearance of the country, earliest settlers, first public buildings, as well as private enterprises." In this book the author covers both the antebellum years, the time during the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Actual former soldiers and area inhabitants were interviewed for the information. This book is a valuable source for the Civil War buff, as it includes these first-person interviews with then still-living soldiers and reveals how one Mississippi county was changed by the Great War between the States. Whether from Mississippi or not, readers will enjoy the insight that this regional history provides.
