Summary: "A Brief History of Upshur County" by G. H. Baird is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book delves into the origins, settlement, development, and changing dynamics of Upshur County in Texas, detailing the lives of early settlers, Indigenous populations, and significant events that shaped the region. Baird aims to document the transformations from a sparsely populated wilderness into a thriving community. The opening of the book sets the stage by describing the early conditions in Upshur County, emphasizing the contrast between its past wilderness and its modern state. It recounts how the area was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, particularly the Caddo and Cherokee tribes, before the waves of settlers arrived, largely spurred by opportunities presented in the wake of Texas' early republic days. Emphasizing the pioneers' struggles, the text paints a picture of log cabins, simple living conditions, and communal activities that marked early life in the county, alongside the natural resources that sustained them. Through various anecdotes and historical details, Baird brings to life the founding families, economic developments, and the evolution of both the county and its primary town, Gilmer.
