Press Release: Pineridge Press Introduces Historical Preservation Series with Clinch County History

Pineridge Press announces the introduction of The Pineridge Press Historical Preservation Series, an editorial program dedicated to bringing significant historical and genealogical works to new generations of readers. The series begins with a newly prepared edition of History of Clinch County, Georgia, originally compiled and edited by Folks Huxford and published in 1916.

Huxford’s account traces the settlement and development of a South Georgia county from its territorial beginnings through the early twentieth century. Its fourteen chapters examine pioneer families, the establishment of local government, Homerville’s development, the Civil War and its aftermath, railroads, education, churches, and the lives of county officials. The volume also preserves extensive genealogical and biographical material and a supplement concerning the Lastinger family.

This edition retains Huxford’s historical work and adds a foreword by historian Hart Mizell, along with editorial notes, a bibliography, a chronology, a glossary, and an alphabetical index. The series is intended to make valuable regional histories more useful to families, libraries, researchers, and readers interested in the communities that shaped Georgia and the American South.
