Deeds and wills, as well as census, court, marriage and death records are referenced. Books and scholarly articles are cited; war and pension records are abstracted. People are fleshed out through anecdotal accounts and letters and placed in historical context. Lawrence County, Ohio; Monroe County, West Virginia; and Bedford, Orange, Culpeper, and Middlesex Counties in Virginia receive much attention. Several vintage photographs, maps, and a full-name index of over 5,000 names add to the value of this work. In addition to the wealth of data contained in the genealogy records, this is a story of men who volunteered to fight Indians; of a man who succumbed to an epidemic while a soldier in the War of 1812; men who returned from the Civil War maimed for life; soldiers who endured grueling conditions in the trenches of World War I; a man who participated in the Normandy invasion of June 1944; two men who fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II, one in the Marshall Islands and the other, a medic, serving in Australia. It is also the story of people who did nothing that would catch the attention of historians, but who labored in the fields, sweated over hot stoves, and retained their dignity and their optimism; people who were weathered by the sun and the wind and the cold, and who met at Pleasant Ridge and Wilgus and other churches on Sunday mornings. This collection of family histories offers readers a slice of our nation's history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMabel June Malan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2011, 8.5\" x 11\", paper, index, 354 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788453724\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-M5372\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39302306594934,"sku":"101-M5372","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-m5372-1500px.png?v=1777225427"},{"product_id":"101-e2654","title":"Etna Iron Works: Ledger Book, Expense Records, 1876-1878 (Final Ledger), Little Etna Iron Furnace, Lawrence County, Ohio","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Etna Iron Works was a blast furnace in Lawrence County, Ohio. It was one of about 100 furnaces which made up the Hanging Rock Iron District of southern Ohio. This district produced much of Ohio's and America's iron in the first seventy-five years of the nineteenth Century and iron products from these furnaces were used to fight the Civil War. The Industrial Revolution, with its roller mills and high-grade ores, replaced the old blast furnaces near the end of the nineteenth Century, but not before they wrote a chapter in American history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis ledger is a balance sheet of expenses and expenditures for that company for the period 1876-1878, a period when the furnace was about to be closed and may be the last ledger produced. It lists employees of the furnace with their job and salary. The ledger is important for researchers because the furnace workers lived in a company town — similar to those found later in the Appalachian coal fields. The company town provided all services for its employees, mainly because the company paid in scrip accepted only at the company store. The workers had little contact outside the community and maybe were ignored by the outside world, for it appears people living in the Etna Iron Works community were not counted by every census.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book lists Lawrence County residents not found in other sources. It also gives the researcher an insight into the life and work of people engaged in the primitive iron business in the early period of an Ohio valley settlement. A map, facsimile reprints of Etna scrip and newspaper ads, and an index to employee surnames (by ledger page number) add to the value of this work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarrie Eldridge\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(2009), 2022, 8.5\" x 11\", paper, index, 286 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788426544\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-E2654\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39920331620470,"sku":"101-E2654","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-e2654-1500px.png?v=1777146472"},{"product_id":"101e-oh0143","title":"History of Lawrence County, Ohio","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1847, Henry Howe wrote, compiled and sketched his original \u003cem\u003eHistory of Ohio\u003c\/em\u003e.
