 General Thomas S. Woodward and Woodward's Reminiscences
By: Don C. Marler
Soft cover, 335 pages, index, bibliography, photos, maps, well documented with footnotes.
Part 1 is an update of the general's early life and his life and death in Louisiana. This history is made richer by inclusion of information about his family - much of which was provided by current family members. Photos of the general and his children are included. There was a child by a slave and her descendants are represented - one is a "Playboy Bunny" There has been much written about the creation and naming of Montgomery - (Creola), La. Here is the most accurate and comprehensive account of this story available. This account includes several original documents published for the first time. This story involves many families who are still in the Winn/Grant Parish area.
Part 2 is a reprinting of the letters written by General Woodward in 1857-59 with a dateline Wheeling, La. He was part Indian and for a time lived with them. Later he fought with General Andrew Jackson against Indians. In the 1850s he wrote letters about Creek Indian customs. He knew many people including highly placed Indians and whites who interacted with them. In his letters he speaks of them in his direct way. These very interesting letters were published in a book in 1859. They are reproduced here in their entirety. This book should be of tremendous interest to professional historians, avocational historians, general readers and genealogists.

This long time favorite, published in 1963, has been out of print. It is now in the public domain and is being reprinted as a public service by Dogwood Press.

Genealogical information abounds in these pages. There are 19 pages of proper names in the index. This volume is exactly the same as the original with the exception of a badly needed index.
