5.0 out of 5 stars History of Newton County, Mississippi 1834-1894, August 14, 2005

By	C. Gressett "book worm" (Northern Kentucky, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An excellent study of pertinent facts relating to the early history of Newton County, Mississippi. A. J. Brown uses many sources to inform his reader, including verbal interviews of residents of Newton County, court records, federal census records, state records and newspaper accounts. This book is of interest to those who wish to learn more about early settlers of Newton County, and what life was like for citizens after the Civil War. It does not touch upon every family. The primary focus is on those the writer believes are the leading citizens, therefore, those seeking a comprehensive study of this area may be disappointed. However, this history does provide a general feel for the time and place with some detailed discussion.
