Compiled by WPA Workers**, this hefty volume is a potpourri of timeless records. From personal letters to wills, promissory notes, deeds, land transfers, survey disputes, civil cases, marriage records, military service records, grave marker purchases, Revolutionary War pension requests, Oaths of Amnesty, School Records, war records, and biographies, there’s a little of something for everyone.
Sidebar: Along with having great historical and genealogical value, this book is a great read. The diaries and letters bring the reader back to another time, another place … when honor, valor, honesty, and love outweighed money, prestige, and power. Although the print is difficult to read at times, the character, flavor, and great ‘tidbits’ make it all worthwhile.
** During the Great Depression in the early 1900s, many Americans were given a “job” by the United States Government to support their family. One such “job” was transcribing early court, family, Bible, and cemetery records as well as other local records. Original versions were typed on onion skin paper with “x” number of carbon copies. Although the State Archives owns the vast majority of ‘first’ or typed copy, carbons have circulated for years but are now scattered. Often the typing is not the best and is difficult to read but these valuable records still constitute one of the best sources of information for Tennessee Counties. In many cases, these are all that remain of the original as many county records have been lost. WPA records are generally full text transcription: much larger in scope than an abstraction or summary.
