Book Description
This work was originally prepared by the Work Projects Administration (formerly the Works Progress Administration), and entitled "Calendar of Wills in West Virginia: No. 49, Upshur County (Buckhannon)." With this printing, the publication is reissued with the title "Upshur County, West Virginia: Abstracts of Wills, 1851-1884," which better reflects the content of the book. Upshur County's will records are complete from 1851, the date of establishment of the county. In compiling this work, the abstractors limited the publication to wills recorded prior to 1885. Thus only Will Book A has been used. The wills contained herein are entered chronologically by date of probate and are arranged as follows: name of testator, occupation of testator if shown, place will made, date will made, date of probate, names of devisees, name of executor, abstract of will, names of witnesses to will, book and page number of recording, and assigned calendar number. There are approximately 1,400 individuals listed in the index. Paperback, (1941), 2012, Index, 104 pp.

Book Description
The history of African Americans in southern Appalachia after the Civil War has largely escaped the attention of scholars of both African Americans and the region. In Facing Freedom, Daniel Thorp relates the complex experience of an African American community in southern Appalachia as it negotiated a radically new world in the four decades following the Civil War. Drawing on extensive research in private collections as well as local, state, and federal records, Thorp narrates in intimate detail the experiences of black Appalachians as they struggled to establish autonomous families, improve their economic standing, operate black schools within a white-controlled school system, form independent black churches, and exercise expanded—if contested—roles as citizens and members of the body politic. Black out-migration increased markedly near the close of the nineteenth century, but the generation that transitioned from slavery to freedom in Montgomery County established the community institutions that would survive disenfranchisement and Jim Crow. Facing Freedom reveals the stories and strategies of those who pioneered these resilient bulwarks against the rising tide of racism.
