Davis, Robert Scott

Robert S. Davis is former senior professor of History at Wallace State College, Hanceville, Alabama. His many publications include several articles and books on the American Revolution and the Civil War in Georgia and South Carolina. His research on the letters in American Husbandry started almost forty years ago when he learned of them from a publication of the late Dr. Albert B. Saye. Bob’s failure to find any Georgian who could have been the author led to his first publication in a scholarly journal. The idea that the plantation described was in South Carolina came from a suggestion by Farris W. Cadle, the authority on Georgia land grants and surveys.
Robert Scott Davis is a genealogy and historical researcher of Georgia and the southeastern United States, and retired history professor. He has published many articles and books; spoken to hundreds of groups; and made numerous television appearances.
