I would like to put together as complete a list
as possible of all the books and other resources that I can find concerning
the people and history of Anson County. Some of these books may
still available for purchase. Where known these sources are listed.
Some just have the Library of Congress (LC) call
number on them; these may be available for interlibrary loan.
If you can provide information about where these resources may be
purchased, libraries where they are located, or suggest other books
for the list, please let
me know
