Book Description
By: Charles Preslar, Pub. 1954, Reprinted 2020, 556 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-282-1 Catawba County was created from Lincoln County in the 1842. It sits in the western portion of the state. The Catawba River Valley was first settled by Germans and Scot-Irish settlers who came to this area in the mid-1700's. This book is not too different from other county history books of this era. With such topics as trade and transportation, labor, farming, politics, and race relations - all important in the development of the county - are carefully discussed. This type of county history book can help one develop ideas or paths to those missing ancestors by showing the customs and traditions of the local residents.

Book Description
The story of one of the few original Native American communities of the Carolinas, whose rich and fascinating history can be dated back to 2400 BC. While the Catawba once inhabited a large swath of land that covered parts of North and South Carolina, and managed to remain in the Carolinas during the notorious Trail of Tears, most Catawba now live on a reservation in York County, South Carolina. In Catawba Nation, longtime tribal historian Thomas J. Blumer seeks to preserve and present the history of this resilient people. Blumer chronicles Catawba history, such as Hernando de Soto’s meeting with the Lady of Cofitachique, the leadership of Chief James Harris, and the fame of potter Georgia Harris, who won the National Heritage Award for her art. Using an engaging mix of folklore, oral history, and historical records, Blumer weaves an accessible history of the tribe, preserving their story of suffering and survival for future generations.

Book Description
This comprehensive history of the central northern South Carolina county provides a survey of the place and its people from the burial mounds of its earliest Native American inhabitants through the infrastructure and technology of the twenty-first century. Special attention is paid to the role of the county and its inhabitants during key periods in American history from its post-Revolutionary economic development and its reliance on slave labor, to its distinction as the birthplace of numerous Confederate officers and role during and after World War II as a regional industrial center. The work contains over eighty black and white images. Joan and Glen Inabinet are retired high school teachers and local historians. Both are former presidents of the Kershaw County Historical Society. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
