About This Item
Orig. pub. Asheville, NC 1937. Reprinted 1977, 1982, 2000, 2004. Print on Demand Edition 2008. xv, 640, 41 pp., index
This history of Old Tryon and Rutherford Counties by Clarence W. Griffin contains a wealth of information not available elsewhere. Tryon County was formed in 1768 from the part of Mecklenburg County west of the Catawba River. Due to inaccurate and delayed surveying, Tryon County encompassed a large area of northwestern South Carolina. The original area of the county encompassed the following modern day areas: all of Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, and Rutherford counties in North Carolina and Cherokee, Chester, Laurens, Spartanburg, Union, and York counties in South Carolina; and parts of Buke and McDowell counties in North Carolina and Greenville and Newberry counties in South Carolina. In 1779 Tryon County was divided into Lincoln and Rutherford counties in North Carolina and ceased to exist. Court records from the first days of the county preserve the names of early settlers. Biographical information is contained in extensive footnotes and county records for every period of history yield valuable genealogical data. Service records include rosters of troops in the Revolutionary War, the North Carolina Militia, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish American War, and World War I. General historical information is given on major events and developments. This volume also includes as a supplement the pamphlet by Mr. Griffin published in 1934, Public Officials of Rutherford County, N.C., 1779-1934.

About The Reprint Company Publishers
The Reprint Company Publishers dates its origins to the mid-1950s when my father, who was editor of the local Spartanburg SC Journal, an afternoon newspaper, became involved with the serialized publication of John B.O. Landrum's History of Spartanburg County in the paper. He then issued that as a hardback book in 1959. Over the next ten years, he published about thirty reprints. I became publisher in 1970 and began moving it from a hobby-business to a fulltime occupation.In the early 1970s, I was contacted by the North Carolina Library Association concerning a list of out-of-print North Carolina titles which they felt should be reprinted. Jointly we developed a project which allowed all of the books to be published. Over the next fifteen years, I worked with library associations throughout the South and published reprint editions of approximately three hundred books.From that time to the present, I have been involved in the publication of over six hundred titles with the areas of specialization remaining local and regional history, scholarly material, and genealogical source material for the Southeastern area.The vast majority of our books are hardback and are printed on a long-life paper with a neutral pH factor. We are using Print on Demand technology to bring the better of our backlist titles back into print. Those titles are listed as Print on Demand and are printed upon receipt of an order and ship directly from the bindery within three to ten business days.
