This work features a cornucopia of information for genealogists and historians alike; however, this country doctor's primary aim was to highlight the contributions of Louisa people. To be sure the author organized the first half of the book around five institutional politics, military history, country roads, churches and parishes, and education. In this way we observe the milestones of settlement and jurisprudence, turning points in wars from 1756 to 1919, location of venerable homes and other structures, a who's who of the religious establishment, and the foundation of schools, newspapers and the professions. Even within these chapters, Dr. Harris introduces lists of the individuals who were there when the history was being land patentees, brides and grooms, Revolutionary and Civil War veterans, teachers and their students, and so on. The second half of the volume, misleadingly labeled "Appendix," hits full stride genealogically. Following a list of Louisa marriage bonds from 1767-1800, Dr. Harris treats the genealogist to 150 pages of family sketches of pioneering Louisa families.
