- The Clanna Siol Aindrea
183,95 kr. The Gaelic name of the Clan Ross is "Siol Aindrea."

368,95 kr. When Anne Ammundsen decided to pursue her family history, an extraordinary story on her maternal line dropped into her lap. She soon found herself up against George Washington's account of the 1782 "Asgill Affair"; but with the discovery of a hitherto unknown letter by British officer Charles Asgill, written two and a half centuries earlier, she knew that her life's purpose was to challenge the records, and set them straight. She has had several articles published, but this book gives her the opportunity to cover the wider story.George Washington's reputation meant a lot to him, and he went to great lengths to preserve it for posterity. Unfortunately, he did so at the expense of the reputation of a young British officer, who has been regarded as a scoundrel ever since. Washington could not have known that Charles Asgill's descendant would turn up to ensure the reputation of this officer was restored, by using primary sources to set the record straight. As will be seen on the pages of this book, Asgill honoured his family motto: Sui Oblitus Commodi (regardless of his own interests). And, as Washington once wrote: Truth will ultimately prevail where pains is taken to bring it to light.Numerous illustrations, nine appendices, a bibliography, and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.

- The Civil War in Indian Territory
288,95 kr. General Watie's fame as the greatest Confederate Indian continued to spread. His Cherokee Regiment raided along the Fort Smith-Fort Gibson Road, pounding hooves, shrill Cherokee Rebel yell, and blazing guns. They were like dust in the wind, ever on the move, doing their damage and scampering out of reach. Riding with them and cheering them on, were the spirits of the fallen comrades as shadows in the dust. Their torches claimed Union haystacks and mowing equipment, as their bullets claimed Union Indians and African soldiers. Take a trip back to the 1860's and learn about this little known era of the larger Civil War that was fought west of the Mississippi. The Indian Nations had been forced west by President Andrew Jackson's "Indian Removal Act". This led to seething political rivalries between factions in the Nations. The Civil War further alienated the factions which led to an internal civil war as they chose sides between the North and the South.

1.093,95 kr. The Union Baptist Church, founded in 1831, is the oldest African American Baptist church in Ohio. Here, published for the first time, the thousands of burial listings in this volume were abstracted from the church's records for the years 1884 to 1970. No written records are known prior to 1884. Six maps show the location of the cemetery plots. There are over 30,000 burial listings recorded here. To make this huge amount of information more manageable, the editors have separated, out of nearly a century covered by the book, six smaller segments of years. The segments range from seven to twenty-one years, and all the names recorded within each segment are alphabetized.Each entry includes, when available, first and last names of the deceased, birth place, age, date and place of death, marital status and names of kindred. All the information is clearly set forth and easy to read. Some entries include an extra notation with information such as occupation and residence. Where the place of death was in Cincinnati, the name of the hospital is given. The information in this two-volume collection also provides an interesting overview of certain historic changes occurring in America. South to North migration patterns stemming from Cincinnati's role as a link in the "Underground Railroad" or the hardships of the Great Depression, for example, can be confirmed by the place of birth listing. A supplement includes a large list of names not found in the record books but found in the cemetery, with locations of grave sites and dates of interment. There is also a list of veterans buried in this cemetery according to courthouse records but not found in the church's record books. A surname index buried within the entries is also included.
