Book desription: Greenwood, S.C.,. 1925.. 42,[1] pp. . First edition. Major Joseph McJunkin (1755-1846) was one of the better known South Carolina backcountry Whig heroes of the Revolutionary War. However, the so-called MEMOIRS OF MAJOR JOSEPH MCJUNKIN were actually prepared by the Reverend James Hodge Saye, a Presbyterian minister and amateur historian. Reverend Saye used, as his major source of information, a hand-written manuscript that Major McJunkin had prepared in about the year 1837. Saye also used many other sources, including magazine articles, interviews with other Revolutionary War veterans, letters, etc. Reverend Saye's compilation was first published as a series of articles in a Presbyterian newspaper, the Richmond, Virginia Watchman and Observer, from November 1847 to October 1848. The MEMOIRS were reprinted in another newspaper, the Greenwood, S.C. Index-Journal in 1925. "Now issued in pamphlet form for the First Time. Limited to One Hundred Copies." Original printed wrappers.
