Excerpt from History of Case County: Illinois After several months of laborious and persistent, toil, the history of Cass County is completed, and it is our hope and belief that no subject of general importance or interest has been overlooked or omitted, and even minor facts, when of sufficient note to be worthy of record, have been faithfully chronicled. In short, where protracted investigation promised results commensurate with the undertaking, matters not only of undoubted record but legendary lore, have been brought into requisition. We are well aware of the fact that it is next to impossible to furnish a perfect history from the meager resources at the command of the historian under ordinary circumstances, but claim to have prepared a work fully up to the standard of our engagements. Through the courtesy and assistance generously afforded by the residents of Cass, we have been enabled to trace out and put into systematic shape the greater portions of the events that have transpired in the county, up to the present time, and we feel assured that all thoughtful persons interested in the matter will recognize and appreciate the importance of the work and its permanent value. A dry statement of facts has been avoided, so far as it was possible to do so, and anecdote and incident has been interwoven with plain recital and statistics, thereby forming a narrative at once instructive and entertaining. To those who have assisted our corps of writers in gathering material, or who have furnished, direct, matter incorporated in the work, our thanks are due, and to Hon. J. Henry Shaw and Judge Jno. A. Arenz, of Beardstown, we acknowledge special indebtedness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of Cass County, Indiana: From the Earliest Time to the Present HE History of Cass County, as it is now issued, has been nu der preparation for several months, and no legitimate sources of information have been knowingly neglected by those engaged in the work. All but two chapters of the county and township history have been prepared, ready for the press, by actual residents of the county. We believe their knowledge of and familiarity with the subjects they have treated have enabled them to produce a work that will withstand the test of unbiased criticism. The difficulties to be surmounted ln the compilation of matter of this kind are many, and sometimes almost disheartening. It 15 seldom that two persons who are conversant with facts that go to make up a history, agree in regard to them; and from the various conflicting statements the compiler is called upon to decide which are most deserving of cred ibility. Yet we believe this volume is more than up to the standard of our promises. At the outset we placed the work under the ed itorial control of that venerable and scholarly resident of Logans port, Mr. Thomas B. Helm, and it is useless for us to add that he has pursued it with all the faithfulness and energy that his waning years would permit. This fact alone is almost sufficient guaranty of the excellence of the book's contents. The spelling of proper names is so arbitrary a matter that great difficulty is always experi sneed in the Biographical department. Instances are frequent where brothers differ in the spelling of their name, and in all cases our only guide was the individual desire, if that could be ascertained. Yet we do not claim perfection for the book, as it doubtless contains some errors. We believe, however, that we have produced as much as could be reasonably expected. The volume, in its make-up and mechanical execution, is, perhaps, superior to any of its kind that has been issued in the State, and we believe that it will be favor ably received and highly appreciated by those for whom it was pre pared. Our thanks are due to those who have rendered us assist ance and to our patrons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Law and Society in the South reconstructs eight pivotal legal disputes heard in North Carolina courts between the 1830s and the 1970s and examines some of the most controversial issues of southern history, including white supremacy and race relations, the teaching of evolution in public schools, and Prohibition. Finally, the book explores the various ways in which law and society interacted in the South during the civil rights era. The voices of racial minorities-some urging integration, others opposing it-grew more audible within the legal system during this time. Law and Society in the South divulges the true nature of the courts: as the unpredictable venues of intense battles between southerners as they endured dramatic changes in their governing values.
Excerpt from A History of Orange County, Virginia: From Its Formation in 1734 (O. S.) To the End of Reconstruction in 1870; Compiled Mainly From Original Records; With a Brief Sketch of the Beginnings of Virginia, a Summary of Local Events to 1907, and a Map I have undertaken to write this book because I thought that the history of Orange was notable enough to deserve preservation. It is much to be regretted that some competent person did not do this work long ago; for in the lapse of time and the neglect of opportunity many things that ought to have been preserved can not now be narrated with confidence as history, hardly as tradition.

This index contains the names of individuals in over 25,700 court cases reported in The Cincinnati Enquirer, before 1869. Many of the records housed in the Hamilton County courthouse were destroyed by a riot and subsequent fire in March 1884. This index attempts to recreate as many court cases as possible from daily summaries reported in this local newspaper, which can provide valuable information to the family history researcher. Typical cases reported include: Probate Court (wills and estates, guardianships, insanity cases, adoptions, probate notices), Common Pleas Court (divorces, civil disputes, property cases and petitions, bastardy and criminal cases) and Superior and District Court (appeals), and coroner inquests.
