Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By: John B. O. Landrum, Pub. 1900, reprinted 2023, 544 pages, Index, Soft Cover, ISBN #9787-1-63914-104-3. A native of the Piedmont section of South Carolina, Dr. J.B.O. Landrum wrote the History of Spartanburg County as a continuation of his Colonial and Revolutionary History of Upper South Carolina. This reprint reproduces the original 1900 edition and covers the period from the organization of the county in 1785 to the Civil War. Over 100 family sketches and more than 125 portraits make this volume of primary interest to the genealogist, and thousands of names of early Spartans are reported. The first census of Spartanburg County taken in 1790, estimates the population at 8,800, and the heads of families residing in the area at the time are listed. Included also are the names of all the Spartanburg men who served in the Civil War, with the names of battle for those killed or wounded. Although it also contains descriptions of the textile industry, churches, schools, and politics, this work is mainly an aid to family history and contains much valuable genealogical material. Surnames of persons or families included in the biographical sketches that the author included in this book, are: Allen, Amos, Anderson, Archer, Ballenger, Barry, Benson, Berwick, Bishop, Blake, Blassingame, Bomar, Bowden, Brockman, Brown, Burke, Burnett, Caldwell, Calvert, Camp, Cannon, Carlisle, Carpenter, Chapman, Choice, Clarke, Cleveland, Cofield, Compton, Crocker, Dean, Douglass, Drummond, Duncan, Earle, Edwards, Elford, Evins, Ezell, Farley, Farrow, Fielder, Fleming, Foster, Griffith, Hampton, Harris, Henneman, High, James, Jordan, Judd, Kennedy, Kilgore, Lake, Lanford, Landrum, Lee, Legg, Lipscomb, Martin, Mason, McCullough, McDowell, McMillen, Monk, Montgomery, Moore, Nesbitt, Nicholls, Odel, Pendleton, Petty, Poole, Reid, Richardson, Rowland, Rudisail, Russell, Sloan, Smith, Snoddy, Switzer, Thomas, Thompson, Trimmier, Tucker, Turner, Vernon, Walker, Westmoreland, Wilkins, Wilmot, Wilson, Wingo, Winsmith, Wofford, Wood, Woodruff, and Zimmerman.

This book was released on 1897 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with local stories and dramatic scenes of fighting from across many decades, J. B. O. Landrum's chronicle of South Carolina is a treasure of the past. The author is enthusiastic in presenting accounts which encapsulate the local Carolina spirit; tales of hardship amid an unforgiving wilderness, of brutal combat between the Native Americans and the white settlers, and of everyday living in the villages and townships of the various counties. War stories and dramatic events are commonly taken from recollections of descendants and written anecdotes; such sources make for a lively and thoroughly engaging history of how South Carolina came to be. By the time he wrote this history in 1897, J. B. O. Landrum was already respected as a writer and chronicler of the past. Locals in and around the Carolinas would, from time to time, send him pertinent material. This edition includes the original publication's maps of the locality, so that readers can understand where settlements stood in the grand scheme of things, and how troops moved around during the conflicts. For its unique storytelling and knowledge, this history retains much value for modern day readers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Spartanburg County: Embracing an Account of Many Important Events, and Biographical Sketches of Statesmen, Divines and Other Public Men, and the Names of Many Others Worthy of Record in the History of Their County Three years ago the author published a volume entitled, "Colonial and Revolutionary History of Upper South Carolina," embracing for the most part the primitive and revolutionary history of the territory comprising the original county of Spartanburg, S. C., which narrative, so far as active hostilities were concerned, ends with the year 1781. The present volume, comprising a history of the original county of Spartanburg proper, is intended to be a continuation of the first volume, and begins with the organization of said county in 1785. Of the events as occurring in the same between the years mentioned (1781-5) he has been unable to obtain information from any source. The author, in presenting this volume to the public, has no apologies to make for whatever may appear to be his shortcomings in the humble but pleasant task which he has had before him. Written and compiled one hundred and fifteen years after the organization of his native county, he has labored under many trying difficulties to collect the material matter and data found recorded herein, most of which, in course of time, would have been lost in tradition. If his efforts along this line meet with the approval of a generous public, he will feel more than gratified. Spartanburg county, now one of the most interesting and progressive in the State, has a history behind her worthy of preservation. In the advancement which she has already made in religious and educational institutions, in manufactures and agriculture, she has made a record inferior to none in the State.

Book excerpt: This scarce work should be of interest to all researchers with early Tennessee ancestors inasmuch as it covers the controversial period prior to statehood when the settlement in eastern Tennessee was under quasi-independent rule. One such controversy involved the creation in 1784 by John Sevier and others of a separate, self-governing territorial unit from lands in western North Carolina known as the State of Franklin. The Franklin episode, and all of its participants, is the subject of this volume.
