A great resource.

I've read parts of this over the years. It's great for looking up names of pioneers of North Western Virginia (1831); this is now West Virginia. The author is rather racist but then again, this was first published in 1831 and then repackaged and published again in 1895 and republished there after until the present.

I don't know what people think when they read history about the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The fact was that there were raids and killings of both whites and native Americans well past this point in time.
