The concluding volume of the two-part U.S. Sources and Resources component of G&LHBIP, this one picks up with the genealogical and local history sources and resources for the State of North Carolina and continues alphabetically through Wyoming.

This book also represents the fourth and final volume of the entire opus, which, in the aggregate, may be said to provide the researcher with an unparalleled buying guide--a giant catalogue of commercially, corporately, and privately published books on genealogy and local history that are presently in print. It would be virtually impossible for anyone to put all this information together by him or herself, and there is no institution in the world that can furnish comparable data. If your research calls for tracking down and purchasing books on genealogy and local history, this work is absolutely indispensable.
