Description
Excerpt from The Autobiography of A. C. Ramsey: School Teacher and Circuit Rider
After searching for several years to find the location of this manuscript, it was finally located at the Archives in Montgomery, Alabama. The Mississippi Archives did not have a Copy. Nor did any of the Universities contacted. This lack of availability to the area it involves made me determined to make it available in printed form for those it concerned.
The editing and annotating of this narrative was done in an informal fashion because the narrative did not lend it self well to formal footnotes. The writer had foot notes of his own on several pages. Therefore periodically a page of Editor''s Notes was added.
A serious effort was made to identify all Mississippi persons mentioned. Place''s were located and maps added. Sources of further information were added also.
It is hoped that the reader will enjoy the narrative as well as appreciate the vast amount of information within. It is truly an insight into the past, into the day to day life of our ancestors who braved the hardships to establish settlements in the pine country of southeastern Mississippi and southwestern Alabama.
