Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Georgia, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing Brief Sketches of the Most Remarkable Events, Up to the Present Day IT is the practice of almost every writer to preface his productions with apologies. Per haps their are few who have a better claim to the lenity and indulgence of critics, than the au thor of this work never-having contemplated ap pearing in the character of an historian, he has re. Luctantly, and not entirely with his own consent, offered the following sheets to the press. With out map or compass, he entered an unexplored forest, destitute of any other guide than a few ragged pamphlets, defaced news-papers, and scraps of manuscripts. In many instances he has been obliged to resort to the aged, and appeal to their memories for a connection of events, re lating to the history of Georgia in its infancy. In commencing the enquiries and collecting the facts which have terminated in this work, it was the author's intention to proffer them to an histo rian, who was capable of doing justice to the task, and he made the offer to several gentlemen whose talents were equal to the undertaking, but he uniformly found that their avocations inter fered with the accomplishment Of a plan, which.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Standard History of Georgia and Georgians, Vol. 1 Georgia's history has heretofore existed, at least for the reading public, only in detached fragments, or in meager chronological outlines. This statement is not intended to convey any disparagement. The histories written by McCall, Stevens, and Jones, are works of surpassing value and, for the periods covered, are exhaustive of detail. But these histories deal only with the State's Colonial and Revolutionary epochs. Isaac W. Avery has made a luminous contribution to the history of the Civil war, dealing, however, principally with political events connected with the picturesque personality of Georgia's war governor. Lawton B. Evans has written a splendid epitome of the states political history, while U. B. Phillips, of the University of Michigan, and R. P. Brooks, of the University of Georgia, have each treated the subject with great ability from economic and sociological points of view. Gen. Clement A. Evans, and Prof. Joseph T. Derry, have each discussed the subject in its military aspects. The necessity for a work, therefore, weaving together in one continuous narrative the complete history of Georgia has long been felt. It was the purpose of Col. Charles C. Jones, Jr., the states greatest historian, to bring his masterful work down to the present time, but ere his stupendous task was half finished, death sheathed his shining pen forever. The present work is not designed to complete the unfinished task of Colonel Jones. That glorious Georgian will always occupy a niche in the Temple of Fame peculiarly his own. This work is intended only as a sincere and earnest contribution to the state's political annals, to bridge the gaps which have heretofore existed, and to connect the more or less familiar story of Georgia's remote historic past with the narrative of recent happenings. It is to be regretted that important records no longer exist on which to base an accurate account of the period immediately subsequent to the Revolution. This is due to the fact that when Georgia was overrun by the British, some of her most precious documents suffered destruction. The loss is an irreparable one, since the period in question was a period of beginnings, marked by organic changes. Original sources of information are also lacking for other periods; all of which emphasizes how important it is for the state to create a Department of Archives, in which to safeguard its immortal things. The necessity for providing quarters in which to house current volumes often relegates the old records to dark nooks and corners, where the agencies of decay make sad havoc of priceless values. New England's dearest care for generations has been her sacred memorials. Georgia's history is not one whit less glorious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Georgia, Vol. 1 of 2: From Its First Discovery by Europeans to the Adoption of the Present Constitution in 1798 Entering a field of enquiry which has been reaped by four predecessors, I could scarcely expect to do more than glean here and there a sheaf which the sickle had spared, or the reaper neglected. My success in collecting materials has more than equalled my most sanguine expectations, and enabled me to present a fuller and more authentic work than could have been written at any former time. By virtue of a resolution of the Georgia Legislature, passed December 23d, 1837, the Governor appointed the Rev. Charles Wallace Howard an agent of the State, to repair to London, for the purpose of procuring the colonial records, or copies thereof, now in the Colonial Departments of Great Britain, that relate to the history and settlement of this State. By the further liberality of the same body, the papers which were the result of his mission, were placed in my library, for the purpose of preparing this history.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Savannah and South Georgia, Vol. 1 The preparation of this history of Savannah was undertaken in response to the urgent request of the publishers who believe there is a demand for it. The writer has been repeatedly asked by others to write such a work, and has now finished the task, sending it forth with the hope that it will measure up to the standard set for it by his friends. He does not claim that it is complete or'that it is free from errors. It contains matter here and there which has been heretofore overlooked by other writers in the same field; and it has been his aim always to give, in disputed questions, the evidence which appears to carry with it the greatest weight. Believing that it will meet a long felt want, he hopes that it will prove useful in its place, and craves the indulgence of the reader in the matter of any defects which may be discovered.
