J. B. O. Landrum's history of Spartanburg County is meticulously researched, being much-consulted by local and national historians since it was first published in 1900. Writing his account in a time that predates history books being of standardized structure and composition, Landrum's chronicle is unique and multifaceted. He focuses alternately on the history of the city of Spartanburg, and then of the surrounding countryside. The most famous buildings and places of business are discussed, with an insightful account of the local development of manufacturing and trade throughout the 19 th century given. Importantly for modern-day readers is Landrum's research into the significance of Spartanburg during the U.S. Civil War. Many young men living locally were drafted into the Confederate army, several going on to display heroism and distinction in service. The war affected the area deeply; many families sustained at least one casualty, with the destruction of life and property leaving a lasting mark on the local culture. Roughly two-thirds of this book discusses the distinguished families and individuals who resided in the Spartanburg area. These genealogies and short biographies are accompanied by photographs, that we appreciate the personal and professional history of the area's respected sons and daughters.
