In 1900, there was a general agreement among Southerners on the need for a comprehensive history of the Southern states. It had been and was a nation, sharing beliefs, traditions, and culture. This series, originally published in 1909, is a record of the South's part in the making of the American nation. It portrays the character, the genius, the achievements, and the progress in the life of the Southern people. The South, being a predominately Celtic society, excelled in oratory, and the speeches were always able to stir the crowd. This volume opens with a history of oratory, beginning with the colonial period. This volume features examples from the speeches of Patrick Henry, Luther Martin, Henry Clay, William Pinkney, Hugh S. Legarï¿1/2, John C. Calhoun, William Lowndes Yancey, Robert Y. Hayne, and many others. Even the famous evangelist Sam Jones is included. Given the influence of these spellbinders, it is easy to understand the rise of the great Southern writers and storytellers of modern times.

Genealogists and other historical researchers have valued the first two editions of this work, often referred to as the genealogist's bible."" The new edition continues that tradition. Intended as a handbook and a guide to selecting, locating, and using appropriate primary and secondary resources, The Source also functions as an instructional tool for novice genealogists and a refresher course for experienced researchers. More than 30 experts in this field--genealogists, historians, librarians, and archivists--prepared the 20 signed chapters, which are well written, easy to read, and include many helpful hints for getting the most out of whatever information is acquired. Each chapter ends with an extensive bibliography and is further enriched by tables, black-and-white illustrations, and examples of documents. Eight appendixes include the expected contact information for groups and institutions that persons studying genealogy and history need to find. ""
