I stumbled upon this book as I was looking for the burial listings for the Kniceley-McCray cemetery located in Braxton County, WV.  It directed me to this book.  What a wonderful book!  It lists my husband's family in a lot of the pages.  It also shows pictures of his grandparents that he didn't even knew existed.  This is like a family history book for him.  He grew up in Replete, WV above Marpleton.  This area was his "stomping grounds" as a young boy.  We had no idea of the tales of this area and other surrounding  areas such as Diana, WV.  It has opened our eyes to what the people of his great grandparent's and grandparent's time had to go thru.  He also didn't realize that his grandfather had been raised by an uncle.  He also didn't realize that his great-grandfather was from Canada.  This has been one of the best investments I have made for my husband and for my children and my grandchildren.  They will forever have their Brown family history documented.  Thank you so much!

This book has been really helpful to me as a planning commissioner in trying to analyze our local ordinances as most of our county is rural with homes served by well and septic systems.  It has been very helpful in allowing me to understand how it all works (or should work when all is well).

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of the area of Humboldt county. The pictures are great and I enjoyed reading and looking at the book over and over again.

Since we are from Lampasas County and have read just about every book on this subject, we very much enjoyed this book that is the most detailed book we have ever read on this famous group of people.  Good book.

Great photos from many long-standing families of Jackson County. The photography reproductions are very good, even for the old photos from the 1800s. Most are from the late 1800s to early 1900s but a good many families are included. I enjoy looking through this book, especially when feeling nostalgic. Since it is out-of-print it can be a little pricey if you are able to find a copy. The quality is superb and the subject matter is fascinating to those whose families settled here. I really can't find anything negative to say about it.

I was helping a friend run for a county spot and we were looking at ways to win elections without spending much money.  I came across this book and what a find!  Very articulate and informative.  This guy knows what he's talking about.

I loved this book. It brought back so many memories of my grandparents and their farm during those years. I was raised in the city but always loved visiting the farm. The descriptions the author wrote gave such a clear picture of the way life was back then and how people looked out for their neighbors. I am looking forward to more books by this author!

I am 67 years old and have lived in NJ all of those years. I love traveling and visiting historical places. This book contains a great deal of knowledge about NJ, its history, and the beautiful back roads. I have ridden many of them on my motorcycle, but after having read this book, will have a new perspective. It covers the county roads (CR 500 series). He puts just enough of his personal experiences to make the book a more interesting read. Having read the book, I will spend more time enjoying the historical significance of the places, towns, and scenery of this state.

This book is an excellent review of the history of Effingham County.  It is not an indepth study but goes into some specifics.  If you are interested in Effingham history, this would be a great place to start.  In addition, I can readily imagine this book would be a good review of how most counties on the prairie developed.
