Papers, 1959-1977.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122538802

This collection consists of Aronhime's exhaustive research into the early history of Southwest Virginia. Focusing on the upper Holston-Clinch River area during the period 1770-1795, he attempted to verify and/or locate mills, forts, settlements, military events, place names, and Indian affairs. There are biographical sketches of a number of prominent area settlers. There is a card file on all verifiable adult males in the area in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, as well as extensive information on early East Tennessee settlers. There are also sketches on revolutionary war soldiers and activities, the postal system, and Washington County tithable lists (1782-1784).
