Indian, Spanish and Other Land Passports for Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, North and South Carolina. The southern states east of the Mississippi were in a territory that was for a long time under Spanish or Indian jurisdiction. By law, only persons issued passports were allowed to enter the southeastern territories, and so the passport records have the largest body of data relating to the pioneers to the Southeastern United States. Dorothy W. Potter spent eight years doing research in the records of the War Department, the State Department, the archives of the individual states, as well as records of the Spanish and the British in West Florida. So she has assembled a complete collection of the passports and travel documents issued to individuals and families going to the Mississippi Valley area from Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Never again can genealogists complain that research in the Old South is hampered by lack of a comprehensive source book, for in this one outstanding reference work there is now a huge and invaluable body of source material at their disposal. No wonder this book was awarded the Certificate of Merit by the Tennessee Historical Commission! Genealogical Publishing Company. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
After eight years of research in the records of the War Department, the State Department, the archives of the individual states, as well as records of the Spanish and the British in West Florida, the author first published this collection of the passports and travel records in 1982. These documents were issued to individuals and families traveling or migrating into the Mississippi Valley area and include all known travel documents for the period of 1770-1823. Each entry gives the names of the passport recipients, the official granting the passport, the date the passport was executed and other identifying particulars. In addition the history of the passport process as it affected the various jurisdictions under consideration is explained in detail. Bridging the gap between history and genealogy, this book includes extensive citations and notes. Coupled with a bibliography of sources and a complete name index, this volume possibly represents the most complete source of information for this time period.
