Wild Sheep in Georgia and the Piney Woods History
An old account describes wild sheep roaming Georgia’s piney forests along the Atlantic seaboard. It notes Spanish explorers possibly introduced sheep to Florida, their later decline in the South, and the rough, nearly unchanged feral condition of these animals in the region from Virginia to the Gulf of Mexico. It also covers early efforts to improve stock, the dominance of cotton over sheep, and how sheep persisted in scrubby pine woods with few large herds today.

A long, dense discussion tracing royal patronymics across Europe. It claims most monarchs derive from Germanic or Jewish lineages, naming Hapsburg, Wettin, Savoy, and other houses as descended from paternal names.
