Montgomery County Georgia History Biographies PDF Download

Excerpt from History of Montgomery County: Together With Historic Notes on the Wabash Valley, Gleaned From Early Authors, Old Maps and Manuscripts, Private and Official Correspondence, and Other Authentic, Though, for the Most Part, Out-of-the-Way Sources The war record, which is as complete as can possibly be Obtained it is believed will give eminent satisfaction to the many brave boys who still survive and who took their lives in their hands and went forth to battle for the Union, and who have liberally patronized us in this work. The township histories, by Messrs. Cowan, Cochran, Raymond, Hyde and Turner will be found full of valuable recollections, which, but for their patient research, must soon have been. Lost forever, but which are now happily preserved for all ages to come. These gentlemen have placed upon the county and the adjacent country a mark which will not be obliterated, but which will grow brighter and broader as the years go by. The biographical department contains the names and private sketches of nearly every person of importance in each township. A few persons, whose sketches we should be pleased to have pre sented, for various reasons refused or delayed furnishing us with the desired information, and in this matter only we feel that our work is incomplete. However, in most Of such cases we have Obtained, in regard to the most important persons, some items, and have woven them into the county or township Sketches, so that, as we believe, we cannot be accused Of either partiality or prejudice.
