There is slight spotting to the insides of the front and back boards and to the facing free pages. On the inside of the front board at the top right are a few numbers written in pencil. There are no other markings. There is some spotting to the page edges. Not ex-library and not ex-libris. This book has a very slightly musty smell. Please see photos. Sold as is.

    Attention US Buyers:  I will ship by USPS Media Mail or by USPS Priority Mail, your choice.  Please note that if you have a Military Mail address (e.g. APO), I must ask that you choose USPS Priority Mail as it is my understanding that USPS Media Mail is not reliable to Military Mail addresses.

    North Carolina County Maps (1800)
    by
    Dr. A. B. Pruitt
    Published 2004
    Covers the 64 counties in existence in 1800.  Genealogical researchers know the value of maps: one reason is the land measurement system in use in North Carolina relates land to natural barriers making the location of creeks, rivers, etc., necessary to find the approximate location of your ancestor's land(s).  In addition to showing waterways in the NC counties formed by 1800, Dr. Pruitt indicates some later counties: for instance Greene, Lenior, and Wayne formed from the genealogical puzzle Dobbs County.  48 pages, soft cover, 8 1/2 x 11 size, completely indexed by creeks, runs, swamps, islands, lakes, mountains, etc.
