Good genealogists strive to understand the life and times of their ancestors. In this sense, any history can be useful. But certain kinds of state, county, and local histories, especially older histories published between 1845 and 1945, often include biographical sketches of prominent individuals. The sketches usually tend toward the laudatory, but may include some genealogical details. If these histories are indexed or alphabetized, check for an ancestor's name.
