Master Index of Pages

For

Life and Legend of

Lawrence County Alabama

By

Dorothy Gentry

 

 

The Life and Legend of Lawrence County Alabama was written and privately published in a limited edition (1500 copies) by Dorothy Gentry in 1962. I wish to acknowledge her efforts in the creation of this book and the fact that she chose not to copyright the material thereby allowing me to scan the book and make it available on the internet for people interested in Lawrence County, Alabama.

 

The information contained on this site were scanned and uploaded by Tommy D. Wiggins.  It is not copyrighted, but if you chose to use this information on another site or publication, I would appreciate acknowledgement of my efforts and those of Dorothy Gentry.  The printed book is 235 pages long including the index.  I have chosen to scan and upload only a portion of the printed book, consisting of pages 1 thru 118 and pages 223 thru 235.  The remaining pages 119 thru 222 is a list of Marriage Licenses issued between 1828 and 1884 and is available elsewhere on the internet.

 

I have made the following minor changes to the material presented here that are not in the printed book:

1.     I have added page numbers to pages 1 thru 11 that were un-numbered in the book.

2.     I have removed illustrations from individual pages and marked where they belong and included a link to them on this Index page.

3.     Blank pages in the book are included here and notated with “Blank Page”.

4.     Pages are separated by 11 lines of white space for readability.

5.     Index in book is in double column format, in this file it is a single column and index page numbers were removed.

 

Caution

This file can and does contain errors. 

Some were in the original material, and some have been introduced during the scanning process. 

Please report any errors you find to Tommy D. Wiggins
