Overview
Beneath the quiet landscape of Coweta County lies a vivid record of frontier beginnings, wartime trial and hard-won recovery. Every name here meant someone. A History Of Coweta County From 1825 To 1880 stands as a classic Georgia county history book, tracing the settlement of Coweta County from contested territory to an organised community central to 19th century Georgia history. Drawing on local memory and official records, William U. Anderson preserves the people, institutions and events that shaped this corner of the South: pioneer families and courthouse squares, churches and schools, politics and plantation fields, the strains of civil war era Coweta and the difficult adjustments of antebellum and Reconstruction Georgia. At once an engaging Coweta County history book and a meticulous American local history reference, it has long been valued by researchers of Georgia history, family historians and readers of southern United States history. For anyone undertaking Coweta County genealogy research, it is an indispensable Georgia family history resource and a cornerstone of any serious southern county histories collection. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, prepared for casual readers, dedicated researchers and collectors who recognise the enduring importance of careful local testimony.
