Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collections of the Georgia Historical Society, Vol. 5: 1. Order Book of Samuel Elbert, Colonel and Brigadier General in the Continental Army, October 1776, to November, 1778; 2. Letter Book of Governor Samuel Elbert, From January, 1785, to November, 1785 It gives me great pleasure to publish in book form the Order Book and Correspondence of General Samuel Elbert, now in possession of the Georgia Historical Society, and to add this volume to the Georgia Historical Society´s collections. The MS. was the property of the late William Neyle Habersham, Esquire, of Savannah, who became its possessor through the connection existing between the Elbert and Habersham families by the inter-marriage of both with the family of Rae. Mr. Habersham presented this valuable manuscript to the Georgia Historical Society in 1894. To the Hon. Wm. Harden, Librarian of the Society, belongs the credit of preparing a copy of the MS. for publication, and of correcting the proofs, for which I am deeply indebted to him. The original from which these pages are printed is in the handwriting of several persons, presumably clerks at headquarters, and it is closely followed in the reproduction, the only changes made being such as to render the meaning intelligible in many places.
