Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Written in 1549, Monro's work has been highly valued for the light it sheds on the history, topography, and philology of the Hebrides. This fuller and more accurate edition of the Archdeacon's account, prepared by R. W. Munro, features descriptions of forty islands never published before. In addition to his description of the islands, Monro's Genealogies of the Chief Clans of the Isles traces the descent of the five chief branches of the Clan Donald. This is essential reading for anyone seriously interested in the history or genealogy of the Scottish Highlands.
Synopsis
White County, Tennessee originally encompassed all of what is now Warren County, as well as parts of the counties of Cannon, Coffee, De Kalb, Franklin, Grundy, Putnam, and Van Buren. The 2,000 marriages in this book, as the title indicates, are the oldest on record. The marriages are arranged alphabetically by the names of the grooms and furnish the names of brides and officiating ministers, along with a number of genealogical annotations.
