Download or read book Pioneer Families of Sumter County Alabama written by Nellie Morris Jenkins and published by Southern Historical Press. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By: Nelle Morris Jenkins, Pub. 1961, Reprinted 2018, 276 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-944-3. Sumter County was created in 1832 from lands ceded from the Choctaw Nation. Its early settlers were French exploers who came up from Mobile. This book begins with a historical background of the county and then moves into the genealogical records found in old Church records. One chapter is devoted to death notices in early newspapers, another chapter is devoted to Tract Book records, showing who entered the land and information about the family. But the main part is devoted to tombstone inscriptions. Almost every inscription is followed with details about the person's family. In most cases the author was able to trace the families back to the Carolinas or Virginia.
Download or read book Pioneers and Residents of West Central Alabama Prior to the Civil War written by Madge Pettit and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides genealogical data on about 1000 families who lived in the hill country of west central Alabama prior to the Civil War. Most were squatters who came primarily from Virginia and the Carolinas, often after having stopped in Tennessee or Georgia long enough to renew food supplies, rest livestock, await the birth of a child or the death of an elderly parent. Ethnically most of the pioneers were of Celtic stock, descendants of early Virginia colonists who had originally come from the British Isles. The family records in this collection have been assembled from cemetery inscriptions, newspaper abstracts, contributions from descendants, military and pension files, and census records.--From publisher description.

Download or read book How You Played the Game written by William Arthur Harper and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centering around the life and times of the revered American sportswriter Grantland Rice (1880-1954), How You Played the Game takes us back to those magical days of sporting tales and mythic heroes. Through Rice's eyes we behold such sports as bicycle racing, boxing, golf, baseball, football, and tennis as they were played before 1950. We witness ups and downs in the careers of such legendary figures as Christy Mathewson, Jack Dempsey, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Bobby Jones, Bill Tilden, Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, Gene Tunney, and Babe Didrikson--all of whom Rice helped become household names. Grantland Rice was a remarkably gifted and honorable sportswriter. From his early days in Nashville and Atlanta, to his famed years in New York, Rice was acknowledged by all for his uncanny grasp of the ins and outs of a dozen sports, as well as his personal friendship with hundreds of sportsmen and sportswomen. As a pioneer in American sportswriting, Rice helped establish and dignify the profession, sitting shoulder to shoulder in press boxes around the nation with the likes of Ring Lardner, Damon Runyon, Heywood Broun, and Red Smith. Besides being a first-rate reporter, Rice was also a columnist, poet, magazine and book writer, film producer, family man, war veteran, fund-raiser, and skillful golfer. His personal accomplishments over a half century as an advocate for sports and good sportsmanship are astounding by any standard. What truly set Rice apart from so many of his peers, however, was the idea behind his sports reporting and writing. He believed that good sportsmanship was capable of lifting individuals, societies, and even nations to remarkable heights of moral and social action. More than just a biography of Grantland Rice, How You Played the Game is about the rise of American sports and the early days of those who created the art and craft of sportswriting. Exploring the life of a man who perfectly blended journalism and sporting culture, this book is sure to appeal to all, sports lovers or not.

Download or read book Stolen written by Richard Bell and published by 37 Ink. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “superbly researched and engaging” (The Wall Street Journal) true story about five boys who were kidnapped in the North and smuggled into slavery in the Deep South—and their daring attempt to escape and bring their captors to justice belongs “alongside the work of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Edward P. Jones, and Toni Morrison” (Jane Kamensky, Professor of American History at Harvard University). Philadelphia, 1825: five young, free black boys fall into the clutches of the most fearsome gang of kidnappers and slavers in the United States. Lured onto a small ship with the promise of food and pay, they are instead met with blindfolds, ropes, and knives. Over four long months, their kidnappers drive them overland into the Cotton Kingdom to be sold as slaves. Determined to resist, the boys form a tight brotherhood as they struggle to free themselves and find their way home. Their ordeal—an odyssey that takes them from the Philadelphia waterfront to the marshes of Mississippi and then onward still—shines a glaring spotlight on the Reverse Underground Railroad, a black market network of human traffickers and slave traders who stole away thousands of legally free African Americans from their families in order to fuel slavery’s rapid expansion in the decades before the Civil War. “Rigorously researched, heartfelt, and dramatically concise, Bell’s investigation illuminates the role slavery played in the systemic inequalities that still confront Black Americans” (Booklist).
