ISBN-13: 9780806315577

George Cram's Unrivaled Atlas of the World contains an index of over 100,000 place names of "every county, city, town, village, and post-office in the United States [showing] the population of the same according to the Census of 1890."

Price: $35.00

Seller ID: mcin1800

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Good

Prior to the original appearance of this work in 1948, the land records for Indiana had never been published, copied, or indexed by name, and unless you knew the exact location of the land on which your ancestors settled, the records were impossible to use.

The earliest land records of Indiana Territory go back to 1801, when a land office was established in Cin...

Seller ID: mcar2000

ISBN-13: 9781557282842

Condition: Very Good

Both modern historians and early nineteenth-century observers have emphasized the wild and picturesque aspects of the Arkansas Territory, suggesting that the settlers here were more preoccupied with indolence or brawling than with economic progress. This study demonstrates that despite all its frontier roughness, Arkansas was characterized by a restless ambition that transformed the area from frontier and subsistence living to a highly productive agricultural society. This ambition – with its brutal Indian removal and expansion of slave labor – rendered Arkansas more similar to its southern ne...
