Giles County was founded on November 14, 1809, and is known as the land of milk and honey. The county is home to over 30 National Register properties, Civil War skirmish sites, a varied cultural heritage, and intersecting Trail of Tears routes (Benge's and Bell's). It is also the beginning place for many well-known African Americans, such as noted architect Moses McKissack, founder of McKissack and McKissack. Giles County is a place where many ancestral lineages return home to their roots for research or to discover their rich African American history and heritage.

In The Last Chance for Logan County, the third Legendary Alston Boys mystery from Edgar Award nominee Lamar Giles, Otto and Sheed team up with the Epic Ellisons against a corporation that wants Logan County’s weirdness for itself! Otto and Sheed are back in yet another legendary adventure that just might take all their deduction skills, and a little help, to solve. With their journey through the last mirror on the left behind them, Otto and Sheed are ready for things to get back to normal. But their trip to that other dimension had side effects, and they come on quickly—starting with a thunderstorm that rains carnivorous frogs! And that's only the beginning. When a suspicious company called GOO, obsessed with Logan County's weirdness, shows up and starts buying all the property in town—and threatening to take Sheed away from Otto—some of the adults start acting stranger than usual, almost… zombie-like? With the help of Otto's mom, Sheed's dad, and the Epic Ellison twins, can the Legendary Alston Boys find a way to save their town and keep their family together?

It was the summer of 1863 at the height of the U.S. Civil War. Federal troops fanned across Tennessee, the final state to secede from the Union, and emancipated its slaves. By July they reached Giles County and the slaves belonging to the extended family of the Abernathys, Easons, Rivers, and Tarpleys. While some chose to remain on those plantations, at least 59 of their slave men enlisted to the Union Army. They were divided among 6 colored regiments, provided essential services, participated in 12 battles and skirmishes, and were mistreated by Confederates for 9 months as prisoners of war. Many of their stories are told in their own words. It is from their military service records and pension files that their stories of slavery, family, bravery, suffering, love, and loss are revealed. This book honors their lives and is dedicated to their descendants. This book is intended to be a tool to help African-Americans break through the genealogical brick wall of slavery.

By the spring of 1862, Union forces controlled almost all of what was to become the state of West Virginia. One of the most remarkable regiments of the Civil War that included two future presidents would move south to occupy the village of Pearisburg, Virginia. This placed the Federals within twenty miles of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, a vital southern rail link. Although the fight that followed was small by Civil War standards, it reflected much of what was happening in the larger war.

This fabulous work is a county-by-county guide to the genealogical records and resources at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Based largely on the Tennessee county records microfilmed by the LDS Genealogical Library, it is an inventory of extant county records and their dates of coverage. For each county the following data is given: formation, county seat, names and addresses of libraries and genealogical societies, published records (alphabetical by author), W.P.A. typescript records, microfilmed records (LDS), manuscripts, and church records. The LDS microfilm covers almost every record that could be used by the genealogist, from vital records to optometry registers, from wills and inventories to school board minutes. There also is a comprehensive list of statewide reference works.

aorn and raised in Adair County, Kentucky, Henry Giles entered the U.S. Army in 1940. As weapons sergeant with the 291st Combat Engineer Battalion, Sgt. Giles participated in the Normandy invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, and the crossing of the Rhine River at Remagen. Throughout his time in the European Theater he wrote over six hundred letters home to his soon-to-be wife, Janice Holt. He also religiously kept a journal detailing daily activities and the camaraderie of his unit. Twenty years later, Janice Holt Giles edited this journal, compiled interviews and additional research, and produced The G. I. Journal of Sergeant Giles, a book that shows WWII as it was experienced by the regular men who took the brunt of it, the noncommisioned officers and privates.
