| | Amazon.com: A History of Monroe County, West Virginia: Books: Orem F. Morton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | Morton's Monroe County comprises both a sourcebook of genealogical data and a group-family record, with slightly greater detail marshaled in the sourcebook section. |
 | | A significant portion of the work, nevertheless, is devoted to the general history of the county, explaining, in the customary manner, when, how, and why the county was settled and tracing the various phases of its development. |
 | | An abundance of available data, coupled with the desire to set forth the family histories of as many county residents as possible, compelled the author to employ a compact form of narrative. |
