3. Thomas Bailey Christian - James Red Wolf

 James Red Wolf AKA J Red Wolf who usually signed his posts :) Red Wolf made comments about our family at genealogy.com around 2008-2009. I did research his tree to verify, I am satisfied, but I'm not putting any of that here for privacy reasons. I'm going to link back here if I quote him using this format: ΣJRedWolf (I use the Σ symbol so you can search a term easily on this blog.)

I come from their son James Peshikthe Christian. James married Rutha Bandy and they had a son Wiskilo'tha, you would know him as George Bandy Christian, but Wiskilo'tha was his Indian name. George married Judith Lester who was also of Indian blood through her father. Down through Mary Christian and Harry Red Wolf. That is my connection to Kumskaka, or as you know him, Thomas B. Christian. We are of the Shawano clan and Tsalagi clan. Shawano through Thomas's father and Tsalagi through his mother. Nipseko followed Shawano clan by the side of his father.

Does this help?

Thomas Mastin's papers for the orphans are found in Tennessee.
There is also one from Hezekiah Whitt in Virginia for the recognition of Thomas Christian as a Cornstalk orphan. Montgomery County is the place to look.

Don't forget to consider Wythe, Wayne, Tazewell. Don't omitt counties in the Carolina states, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia. Those are the places with the keys to the connections you all seek. Be sure to check Georgia. Heavy Shawano connections are there to our Christians.

Whole Earth Catalog, Shelter

 I loved reading the Whole Earth Catalog when I was young. So I bought it for my new library. It is not available at Amazon so I had to get mine from eBay. When I did, there weren't any clean copies of the original 1968 $5 edition so I bought a newer on:

Now, I just looked at eBay and there were several good condition copies, so I bought one.

-----------------------------

Also, I remember a book called Shelter that I loved - that one is still in print so I bought one at Amazon.

available at Amazon

There are more variations of this book and the author also wrote a book about septic systems

available at Amazon

Apparently, Lloyd Kahn was the "Shelter" editor for the original WEC and when I googled him, wow, he has a lot of writing on the Internet. He had a blog and now he has a Substack

Evidence Explained & The Chicago Manual of Style & Dewey Decimal

 

I am going to try to figure out how to cite email & letters (AKA correspondence). I will be using Evidence Explained & The Chicago Manual of Style

some of my questions

1. If the email is written to you do you have to send a second email asking if you can cite first email?

2. Citing something means the reader should be able to access the original, correct? How can that be if the email is only on the computer and not published?

I'm going to be asking these questions at the Evidence Explained forums

https://www.evidenceexplained.com/forum

And reading The Chicago Manual of Style

--------------------------------------------------------------

Part B citing books when there are multiple editions

I need to be able to cite one particular edition of a book when there are multiple editions.

For this example I am going to use

Pocahontas, Alias Matoaka, and Her Descendants

by Wyndham Robertson 1887

the first thing to look at is the actual title page

Since there was no classification system at this time the only way to distinguish this edition would be to use the publication year (1887) and maybe the page numbers (no, because Internet sources are not consistent on how many page numbers of first edition)?

This is before ISBN, so it won't have one, UNLESS someone assigned a number "posthumously", which it looks like someone did:

ISBN (still searching for isbn number)

The Chicago Manual of Style citation 2024:

Robertson, Wyndham. Pocahontas: Alias Matoaka, and Her Descendants Through Her Marriage at Jamestown, Virginia, in April, 1614, with John Rolfe, Gentleman; Including the Names of Alfriend, Archer, Bentley, Bernard, Bland, Boling, Branch, Cabell, Catlett, Cary, Dandridge, Dixon, Douglas, Duval, Eldridge, Ellett, Ferguson, Field, Fleming, Gay, Gordon, Griffin, Grayson, Harrison, Hubard, Lewis, Logan, Markham, Meade, McRae, Murray, Page, Poythress, Randolph, Robertson, Skipwith, Stanard, Tazewel, Walke, West, Whittle, and Others. United States: J. W. Randolph & English, 1887.

MLA

Robertson, Wyndham, 1803-1888, and R. A. (Robert Alonzo) Brock. Pocahontas, Alias Matoaka: And Her Descendants Through Her Marriage At Jamestown, Virginia, In April, 1614, With John Rolfe, Gentleman; Including the Names of Alfriend, Archer, Bentley, Bernard, Bland, Bolling, Branch, Cabell, Catlett, Cary, Dandridge, Dixon, Douglas, Duval, Eldridge, Ellett, Ferguson, Field, Fleming, Gay, Gordon, Griffin, Grayson, Harrison, Hubard, Lewis, Logan, Markham, Meade, McRae, Murray, Page, Polythress, Randolph, Robertson, Skipwith, Stanard, Tazewell, Walke, West, Whittle, And Others. Richmond: J. W. Randolph & English, 1887.

APA
