Annals of Tazewell County, Virginia from 1800 to 1922


Book Description

Excerpt from Annals of Tazewell County, Virginia, From 1800 to 1922, Vol. 1 of 2: Part 1 Containing Records of Courts, Etc., From 1800 to 1852; Part 2 Containing a Republication of Bickley's History of the "Settlement and Indian Wars of Tazewell County," Published 1852 During several years we have been gathering information for the purpose of publishing a Genealogy of the Harman family of Southwest Virginia, and of related families. In pursuance of this purpose, we made inspection of records of the Land Office and the Public Library at Richmond; of the County Court Records of Frederick, Shenandoah, Rockingham, Augusta, Montgomery, Wythe, Smythe, Washington, Giles, Russell and Tazewell Counties. Later it occurred to us that a similar genealogy of other pioneer families of Tazewell County would be as interesting to their descendants as that of the Harmans and related families is to us. This led us to undertake the publication of the annals or taze well county from 1800 to 1922. We now present to the reader Volume One of the annals OF tazewell county from 1800 to 1852, which contains extracts from the court records during that period of general public interest and which are of special interest to the descendants of the pioneer families of the county.

Prologue to Democracy


Book Description

This study of the Southern Federalists examines their contribution to the formation of the party system at the end of the eighteenth century and to the liberalization of politics in America. Despite their belief in rule by the elite and their reluctance to develop an organized party system, the Southern Federalists are shown by Lisle A. Rose to have elicited political participation along broad geographic and social lines through local party efforts, newspaper campaigns, and mass meetings. Forced into distinct ideological and organizational identities, the Southern Federalists as much as their Republican opponents had a significant share in shaping American political life in the last years of the eighteenth century.
