Books About Manse Jolly

The following books are about the life and exploits of Manse Jolly by a well known researcher.

Manse: One Mans War by Wilton Earle. Historical fiction, highly recommended

Manse Jolly: A Story Based On Fact by Garet Earle. Out of print and hard to find!

Another book is Maid Of The Foothills by J.W. Daniel which is out of print. (not recommended!)

Notes:

(1) Scanned copy of a photo from the book Manse: One Mans War by Wilton Earle (a must read!). This is the only know image of Manse and was made from a daguerreotype that belonged to the Jolly family. According to some the Confederate Memorial statue in Anderson SC is based on a photo of Manse Jolly but that is probably fiction according to researchers.
