Additions to the information in Tom Hamm's talk from the homecoming group

As researchers read Tom's talk (for which you can find a link in the top line on the right hand side of the top of the blog) there were several who had suggestions for further information that is available.  Here are some of the additions that others sent me:

From Martha:

FYI, from Tom's article, here's a link to the Annals of Newberry he mentions, if you dont have it already.

 

"A wonderfully engaging sketch of Bush River Friends can be found in chapter 5 of John Belton O'Neall and John A Chapman’s book, The Annals of Newberry (Newberry, SC, 1892).  O'Neall's section was writen in the 1850s. "

This book is freely downloadable in its entirety as a PDF file :
