I recently found a site on the web called Making of America. It's a project by
the universities of Michigan and Cornell. They are compiling, on line, books
and publications published between the antebellum period and reconstruction.
You can go to this site and enter a name or phrase and it will list all the
related publications and the pages that your name or phrase appears on. From
there you can view the pages. What you get is a facsimile of the publication.
A lot of the Cato listings have to do with Cato the Roman. There is a listing
of L. L. Cato in the Official Proceedings of the Democratic National
Convention in Charleston 23 Apr - 3 May 1860. There are a number of books
about the problems in Kansas that mentions Judge Sterling G. Cato. Again, none
very complimentary. For such a nice guy in Ga. and Al. he sure went to hell in
Kansas. ----or maybe it's the yankee writers.
But I digress. When this site works it's good but when it doesn't be ready to
hit your reload a lot. And then there's the times you will want to just reload
and put a round through the screen. I don't think there's much more about
Catos, but it may be useful on other lines.
