Download or read book The Smart Family Pioneers written by Cynthia Y Whited and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Smart Family Pioneers, follow the sojourning Smart Families as they journey from one frontier wilderness to the next, settling the land, fighting for their country, and homesteading the west. The main focus in this beautifully illustrated work is a comprehensive account of the pioneering journeys of Joseph Smart Sr. and his descendants. Told through revealing personal sketches, nostalgic photographs, and historical documents, this edition contains an in-depth and sweeping study of the Smart families, beginning with the patriarch who followed the Great Wagon Road south from Pennsylvania in the 1760s and migrated to western North Carolina, a hinterland populated by Cherokee Indians, bears, and mountain lions. The authors detail the struggles and conditions that the early settlers to this primitive wilderness endured. They also shed light on the plight of the Confederate soldiers when duty called in the 1860s, and moreover, they tell of the anguish and many deaths that the Smart families suffered during the Civil War. In addition, the authors recount the tales of the western exodus and wanderlust of Joseph's children and grandchildren who traversed the southern Appalachians and settled in the coves of eastern Tennessee and intermarried with the Cherokees, while other family members forged north and west to Indiana and Missouri before moving on to the plains of Texas, crossing the dangerous Red River and surviving numerous Indian raids. The incredible sagas of hardship and sacrifice that these original pioneers survived, along with the heartbreaking details of gruesome accidental deaths and heinous tales of cruel hangings and cold-blooded murder, make this book a "must read" for both historians and genealogists alike. The Smart Family Pioneers is the eighth book of genealogy and history written by the brother and sister researchers, Dennis C. Martin and Cynthia Y. Whited. Their eight archives of past events and family histories offer a compelling study in to the lives and former times of many people from western North Carolina, and are sure to be the main source of reference for many years to come for those seeking information regarding their Carolina ancestors.
Download or read book Mountain Masters written by John C. Inscoe and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antebellum Southern Appalachia has long been seen as a classless and essentially slaveless region - one so alienated and isolated from other parts of the South that, with the onset of the Civil War, highlanders opposed both secession and Confederate war efforts. In a multifaceted challenge to these basic assumptions about Appalachian society in the mid-nineteenth century, John Inscoe reveals new variations on the diverse motives and rationales that drove Southerners, particularly in the Upper South, out of the Union. Mountain Masters vividly portrays the wealth, family connections, commercial activities, and governmental power of the slaveholding elite that controlled the social, economic, and political development of western North Carolina. In examining the role played by slavery in shaping the political consciousness of mountain residents, the book also provides fresh insights into the nature of southern class interaction, community structure, and master-slave relationships.
Download or read book Family Gems written by Regina Lynch-Hudson and published by . This book was released on 2009-08-08 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family Gems: A Pictorial Treasury of Western North Carolina Ancestors features beautifully designed ancestral trees, museum-quality montages, genealogical DNA charts and over 200 restored vintage photographs encased in bejeweled ruby frames.The historical pictorial coffee table book gives long overdue homage to five family lineages in Western North Carolina--the Lynchs, Burnettes,Freemans, Paynes and Stepps,families that reigned in the early settlements of Black Mountain, Lake Lure, Rutherfordton, Edneyville, Hendersonville, Shiloh and Cherokee, North Carolina. The book is filled with distinctive stories and biographical sketches, many depicting tri-racial ancestors that were born in the early to mid-eighteen hundreds. Due to the inaccuracy of the period¿s census records in documentation of race, often ancestors who were tri-racial (White, Cherokee Indian and African American) were listed as ¿colored¿ or ¿mulatto.¿The well-crafted heirloom comprises a fascinating glimpse at hard-working multi-cultural mountain kinfolks--including midwives, furniture craftsmen, blacksmiths, farmers, moonshiners, coal miners, and herbalists. Reflecting over a decade of work, the 420-page hardbound volume is a well-crafted tribute to the families depicted, and some of their most memorable family gems. The sacred volume celebrates the lives of dozens of Western North Carolina family icons, such as George Washington Richard Henry Lee Payne (1838-1927),one of the original blacksmiths at Biltmore Estate in the late 1800s. His original handwritten letters from the 1890s are depicted. You will find strength, humility and inspiration in Black Mountain legend John Myra Stepp (1850 ¿1955), a former slave who rose to become a major property owner and ¿the first black man of means in the valley.¿We¿re introduced to prolific midwife and herbalist Mary Stepp Burnette Hayden (1858-1956).Had Mary been born in 1958 instead of 1858, her legacy could have very well been that of a physician, pharmacist or president of her own holistic nutrition company. The heartwarming portrayals show a hardworking, proud and resourceful band of families who through times good and bad, shaped by their circumstances, managed to carve out modest livelihoods in a fascinating multicultural mountain region. Historical sites and landmarks of relevance to families depicted are also featured.
