Journals of the Commons House of Assembly
Classic letterpress editions trace the proceedings of the state's elective
branch of the General Assembly and give vivid accounts of the life of the people
in those stirring years of the colonial period. All volumes specially priced at
$6.75 each postpaid while supplies last.
April 23, 1750 - August 31, 1751
R.N. Olsberg, editor
607 pages. CH10
This journal records the political controversy over claims of Choctaw traders
and the governor's veto of three acts; a deposition from a settler in Saxe Gotha
Township, charging that dishonest whites were antagonizing Cherokee Indians; and
an affidavit from a frontier settler, Mary Cloud, describing the murder of her
family at the hands of two Indians.
November 14, 1751 - October 7, 1752
T.W. Lipscomb and R.N. Olsberg, editors
471 pages, CH11
Frontier conflict continues - settlers on Peedee River petition to bring order
to the backcountry by removing "evil-disposing People ... such as Horse
Stealers, and other Felons ... and others cohabiting with their Neighbours
Wives, and living in a most lascivious manner." Governor Glen reports on the
effects of "a dreadful Hurricane."
November 21, 1752 - September 6, 1754
T.W. Lipscomb, editor
640 pages. CG12
Legislators consider Indian diplomacy, intercolonial affairs, and the impending
outbreak of the French and Indian War. Governor Glen's struggle with the House
climaxes over fortifications. Public Treasurer Jacob Motte finances his private
business ventures with money from the treasury.
November 12, 1754 - September 23, 1755
T.W. Lipscomb, editor
386 pages. CH13
Legislators focus on military affairs as hostilities break out between British
and French forces on the Ohio frontier. Friction between Indians and border
settlers produces a petition from settlers in Saluda, Enoree, and adjacent
areas; they ask for protection from the Indians who glut "themselves with the
blood they seemed to take such delight in spilling." A committee reports on a
cure for snakebite invented by a slave named Sampson.
