Hi list, This email was sent to me from the UDC (I am a member of the UDC) and I thought some of you with ties to the area might be interested in this book. If so please let me know and I will put you in contact with the person to order it. The email follows: This note is to announce the publication of is Confederate Pensions of Old Edgefield District edited by Betsy Bloomer. Ms. Bloomer is a member of my chapter here in North Augusta. She has spent two years working on this first volume of the pensions. Back in those days, Old Edgefield District included the counties of Aiken, Edgefield, Greenwood, McCormick and Saluda. This 351 page first volume includes the years 1888 - 1910, fully indexed and each entry is in alphabetical order. It is perfectly bound , with a beautiful color cover. South Carolina Confederate Pensions were first granted in 1888. Each entry includes the name of soldier, list township/post office where he lived, year pension started and when he died. The cost of this outstanding work is $42.00 plus $3.00 to ship. I hope you will order this book if you have Edgefield District connections. End of email. Let me know if you are interested...
