This is really two books in one. The first part, originally published by Col. Saunders in a series of newspaper articles between 1880 and 1899, is a compendium of genealogicaland biographical sketches of the early settlers of Lawrence County, Alabama and of Alabama itself. Based on first-hand accounts as well as the author's encyclopedic recollections, it offers glimpses of people and events that are otherwise beyond the reach of our present-day resources. Avowedly "popular" in approach, it is nonetheless a unique and invaluable record of Alabama's earliest settlers. The second part of the work, compiled by Col. Saunders' granddaughter, contains detailed genealogies of nearly 100 Alabama families. Compiled from a multitude of original records, as well as approved secondary sources, these genealogies usually commence with the immigrant ancestor and progress through a chain of descents down to representatives of the line in the mid-nineteenth century. They are replete with biographical detail and are often preceded by a list of everyone of the surname mentioned in early court records. The following is a list of some of the families treated in this section: Baldwin, Bankhead, Banks, Bibb, Billups, Blair, Cantzon, Clark, Clay, Coleman, Cox, Donohoe, Dubose, Dudley, Dunn, Elliott, Flint, Fountaine, Foster, Fry, Gholson, Goode, Gray, Harris, Hill, Hopkins, Hubbard, Kennedy, Lanier, Ligon, Lowe, McCarthy, McGehee, Maclin, McMillan, Manning, Maury, Moore, Mumford, Oliver, Ormond, Poellnitz, Ray, Richardson, Saunders, Shelton, Sherrod, Shorter, Speed, Swoope, Tait, Taliaferro, Thompson, Tillman, Urquhart, Walthall, Watkins, Webb, Weeden, Wells, White, Withers, Wyatt, Tates, and Young.

Drury's two-volume history of early Ohio; J. P. Hentz' account of the settlement of the Twin Valley; William E. Smith's compilation of the histories of counties along the Little Miami and Great Miami Rivers, which provides sketches of three specific areas that had been part of Montgomery County; John Edgar's recollections of growing up in a pioneer town; and a compilation of contemporary local histories published by W. H. Beers. The biographical sketches, taken from contemporary authors, not only provide items of genealogical interest, but also describe elements of daily life in early Ohio.

Life as an early settler in Texas was tough.Cattle rustlers stole people’s livelihoods, Native Americans fought back to reclaim their lands, and gunslingers walked the streets of the frontier towns.A. J. Sowell refused to let the memory of the early pioneers who settled on the southwest frontier die.As he states in his preface, “They bore the heat and burden of the day, and their deeds should live like monuments in the hearts of their countrymen.”Sowell’s book was written just at the point that camping grounds and tumbleweed towns were transforming into prosperous cities and provides insight into a world that has long vanished.Material for the book was drawn from interviews with men and women, such as “Big Foot” Wallace, Sarah J. Kinchaloe, and Henry Castro, who had lived on the frontier and experienced life in this wild region.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the old west and for those who wish to find out more about the lives of the pioneer men and women who transformed the famous state of Texas.Andrew Jackson Sowell was first of his family to be born in Texas after his relations moved to the area in 1830. His grandfather was involved in the Texas Revolution, as was his uncle, who served in the Alamo garrison but departed to obtain supplies prior to its fall. From 1870 November until 1871 June, he was a Texas Ranger in Company F of the Frontier Battalion, serving under Capt. David P. Baker. Drawing on his own experiences as a Texas Ranger, events in his relatives’ lives, family history, and interviews, Sowell wrote numerous books and articles about the early history of Texas. His books include Rangers and Pioneers of Texas, Life of Big Foot Wallace, Early Settlers and Indian Fighters of Southwest Texas, and History of Fort Bend County. Early Settlers and Indian Fighters of Southwest Texas was published in 1900. Sowell died in 1921.

Originally published in 1900 as Early Settlers and Indian Fighters of Southwest Texas, this volume has been praised by reviewers for more than a century. J. Frank Dobie said it is "meaty with the character of ready-to-fight but peace-seeking Texas pioneers." Joe B. Frantz, renowned Texas historian, wrote: "Sowell has a feature writer's eye for a good story and his sensitivity for change of pace and mood." The author was a native of Texas, a Texas Ranger who used a pen as well as he used his gun. His readable volume describes Indian fights and the activities of famous Texas Rangers in detail. Included in these accounts are first-hand recollections of Texas Rangers Bigfoot Wallace and Benjamin F. Highsmith and Mrs. Hannah Berry's description of her encounters with Davy Crockett and Josiah Wilbarger. The reprint edition is a replica of the original 1900 volume, complete with a new index added when State House Press published the book as Texas Indian Fighters in 1986.

“Remarkable as it may appear, there is not a State or Territory in our whole nation but has some chord that centers on Sangamon county. Many European countries might be included also. Thus it will be seen that the homogeneous character of our whole people could not be more forcibly illustrated than by this volume.”This is the author’s bold declaration and a challenge to the skeptical family historian to find ancestors in Sangamon County, Illinois. This text is a biographical review, composed of concise, informative sketches of the individual members of the first families to settle Sangamon and the Springfield vicinity. Each entry generally contains date and place of birth and death, and date of relocation to Sangamon. Wherever possible, more colorful data on the settlers and their descendants is provided. Additionally, many entries note military service, level of education, occupation, medical conditions and religious observance, giving a more complete impression of the pioneering Americans who brought civilization to the wilderness of Illinois and the Midwest. Of special interest are accounts of the passage to Sangamon from the East and a wealth of stories depicting the lives of these early settlers. Entries are arranged in alphabetical order by surname, and within each surname by date of birth.

Originally published as two seperate volumes, these have now been consolidated into one with a complete Full Name Index.

This work presents, in an easy-to-use tabular format, a complete list of the 25,000 persons who bought land in southwestern Ohio and eastern Indiana through the Cincinnati Land Office between the years 1800 and 1840.

Traill West is a series of interviews about the early settlers of Traill County in Dakota Territory.

It is a certainty that the direct descendants of Peter Paulson and Lars Halvorsen will be interested in this book of interviews and reminiscences.
