A Hard Journey
A Hard Journey brings to life Don West: poet, ordained Congregationalist minister, labor organizer, educator, leftist activist, and one of the most important literary and political figures in the southern Appalachians during the middle years of the twentieth century. Initially motivated by religious conviction and driven by a vision of an open, democratic, and nonracist society, West was also a passionate advocate for the region's traditional values. This biography balances his literary work with political and educational activities, placing West's poetry in the context of his fight for social justice and racial equality. James J. Lorence uses previously unexamined sources to explore West's early involvement in organizing miners and other workers for the Socialist and Communist Parties during the 1930s. In documenting West's lifetime commitment to creating a nonracist, egalitarian South, A Hard Journey furnishes the spotlight he deserves as a pioneering figure in twentieth-century Southern radicalism.

The Mulkeys of America
Three Mulkey brothers--John (d.1736), Philip (d.1736) and James (fl.1744)--were in Virginia. John lived in Spotsylvania County, Vir- ginia, Philip moved to Precinct (now Bertie) County, North Carolina, and James moved to Bladen County, North Carolina. Descendants of John and Philip lived in most of the United States, and some immi- grated to Sinaloa, Mexico as participants in a utopian socialist colony. Few descendants of James have been located. Many Mulkey descendants lived in Georgia and Oregon.

The Natchez Court Records, 1767-1805
In 1781, two years after Spain took the Natchez District from the British, the Spanish commandant commenced to record all matters involving the mainly British inhabitants that would normally come before a tribunal. Those records form the basis of the first part of this book--sureties, bills of sale for land and slaves, inventories, appraisals, wills, etc. The second part of the work, Land Claims, 1767-1805, deals with British land grants in the Natchez District and is based on abstracts of land titles submitted to the United States for confirmation of land ownership. The index to the whole bears reference to 10,000 persons.
