This is the standard genealogical and historical reference on
Highland
County
, with emphasis on the pioneer period and the
early settlers and their families.
Although considered a history, the major portion of the book is devoted to a transcription of the records from the courthouses
of Highland County and the adjoining counties of Augusta, Bath, Orange, and Pendleton and from the archives at Richmond.
Part I surveys the early history of the county and includes lists of
Highland
militia and soldiers in various wars.
Part II consists of genealogies of
Highland
County
families, the descent from pioneer ancestors being traced for the main and
collateral lines, with nearly 100 pages devoted to pioneer and sub-pioneer genealogy.
