Pott Country and What Has Come Of It ~ Genealogy

Additional Information:
This is a rare and hard to find book covering the history and genealogy of Pottawatomie County in Oklahoma by John Fortson. Pottawatomie County is located in the center of Oklahoma and even encompasses part of Oklahoma City.

It was originally published in 1836 under the auspices of the Pottawatomie County Historical Society. This is the 100th anniversary reprint from 1936 also published under the auspices of the Pottawatomie County Historical Society and printed by Eakin Press in U.S.A.

The county covers nearly 800 square miles and has a population of nearly 70,000 people. The Pottawatomie Indians (also spelled Potawatomi and Pottawatomi) were Native American people from the Upper Mississippi region and called themselves Bodewadmi, a name meaning "keepers of the fire".

This rare book is chock-full of historical information including demographics, geography and genealogy of many early families. It has 101 pages and was published in 1936. This hard cover book is not to be confused with the more modern reproductions that are spiral bound. The last chapter is a who’s who of some of the families of Pottawatomie County.
