0073 -Lost Soul Confederate Soldier in New England Rolston, Les
Author Les Rolston reconstructs the life and times of Samuel Postlethwaite, a young Confederate private in the 19th Mississippi infantry. The author describes how, in the many years following Postlethwaite's death, all record of the soldier's life was lost. Through tireless research applying techniques and strategies you too can use, Rolston found Sam and secured an "honorable burial" for the only known Confederate soldier to be buried in Rhode Island. To add context to the story of his discovery, Rolston relates the history of two families--the Greenes from Rhode Island and the Postlethwaites from Mississippi--and gives a detailed account of how individuals from each family were involved in the Civil War. Lost Soul explores how these wartime enemies became family, and how their union led a battle-tested Confederate soldier to spend his last days-and all eternity-in the North. A moving story and must read for Civil war and family history buffs. 1999. 1st ed Soft cover. 316 pages.

0076 - Land & Property Research in the United States
Land & Property Research in the United States Land records are among the oldest and best-preserved records in the U.S. Researchers often overlook the importance of land records as a source for genealogical information. But significant and often hidden clues can be found in land and property records. Written evidence of people's entitlement to land and property goes back in time further and apply to more people than any other genealogical record in the United States. However, they can often be difficult to fully understand and use. Enter Land & Property Research in the United States, by author Wade Hone. This virtual encyclopedia of American genealogy will guide you through the "how to use" and "where to find" of land & property records. Additionally, LPR will instruct you on the nature of land and property records. Of course, all this information would be of little use without an understanding of how to use it in genealogical research. Therefore, the significance of genealogical information is tied into each record group and chapter. Land & Property Research in the United States is the most comprehensive and useful review of land and property research to date. Nowhere else will a researcher find the information on these important records so easily accessible. A "must have" for genealogists, title companies, law libraries, county government offices, and federal government employees. 517 Pages, 8 1/2" x 11", Hardbound Fine Dustcover Fine .
