In this standard history of Bath County, Morton treats the discovery and settlement of the region, the Lewis Land Grant, Bath's early history and its pioneers, the organization of the county, and Bath County in the colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil wars. Of greatest genealogical import are the chapters devoted to the names of heads of families in Bath in 1782, early marriage records, a roster of Confederate soldiers, and a list of families in Greater Bath.
