Auctiva's FREE Counter A  Bibliography of American County Histories
P. William Filby
Book of 449 pages in excellent condition . Description per the  publisher;
Compiled for use by historians and genealogists,
A  Bibliography of American County Histories
provides a state-by-state listing  of all published county histories of any significance, giving information  concerning title, author, and place and date of publication, as well as details  of editions, reprints, and indexes, so the reader can learn what is available  almost at a glance.
The work is based primarily on the holdings of the Library of  Congress and the New York Public Library, but draws as well on published state  bibliographies and lists of county histories furnished by librarians in each  state. Comparatively few county histories are published any more--their now  almost quaint subject matter features biographical sketches, lists of vital  records, and narratives of early explorations and settlements--so this book will  remain the standard bibliography for years to come.
The late P.W. Filby was a world-renowned scholar, bibliographer,  and cryptologist. He was the author or compiler of twenty books, including works  on calligraphy, genealogy, and immigration. His best known works in bibliography  include the monumental
American & British  Genealogy & Heraldry
(1983) and
Passenger  and Immigration Lists Bibliography, 1538-1900
(1981).
