Opis

While Mr. Featherstons annals of old Appomattox are not without historical interest, genealogists will surely wish to pour over the family histories for clues to their own ancestry. Featured in the historical narrative are sketches of Appomattoxs ante bellum leadership, a first-hand account of the Confederate surrender from the diary of the authors grandmother, a map which reconstructs the buildings of the county seat in 1865, treatises on the countys businesses, educational system and churches, and brief biographies of the white and African-American civic leaders of the authors day. Of still greater interest, of course, are the 125 genealogies of varying length of Appomattox County families.
