This is a major collection of colonial and Revolutionary documents,
biographical sketches of prominent persons, lists of early settlers,
militia rolls
and lists of soldiers and officers in the Revolution, and county-by-
county sketches
from the first settlement of Georgia down to the middle of the 19th
century.
The accounts of the counties include traditions, statistics, early
settlers,
and abstracts from the census of 1850. About one-third of the book is
devoted
to a collection of documents dealing with the colonial and
Revolutionary periods,
while a 41-page Appendix gives the principal statistics of the whole
state as
taken from the census of 1850.
"The whole volume forms a compilation of the greatest value,
extensively used by
subsequent writers." J.N. Larned, The Literature of American History.
(1902), No. 3340
