This is an important work for those looking to recover the history of African Americans in the antebellum period of Edgefield County, SC. In her forward, Gloria R. Lucas provides many significant details for one pursing data about enslaved African Americans in this area, including the difficulty of determining a reconstruction era surname, the challenge of looking for all the variant spellings of both given names and chosen surnames, and the importance of exploring all the details of every source. The majority of the work contains seven key pieces of identifying data on more than twenty thousand African Americans in that South Carolina County. Every name is sourced.
