I am happy to announce the next giant step in preserving, celebrating and sharing Cabell history. It is built around digitized copies of the 1939 edition of The Cabells and Their Kin, and the 1993 20th Century Cabells and Their Kin. The two CDs feature 23 additional short monographs and home videos. Over a gigabyte of data. The documents are in searchable .PDF format.

Some of the documents are very personal, and the home videos are probably not of general interest, so the double-disk set is designed for only members of the extended Cabell Family.

But I have selected a single-CD version of the most important items, and this is available to you folks out there on VA-HIST. All are in searchable PDF. It contains the following:

- The Cabells and Their Kin by Alexander Brown, 1939 edition - over 700 pages

- 20th Century Cabells and Their Kin, 1993 first edition - nearly 700 pages

- Cabell Sightings 1699-1751

- The Cabell History Channel (12 one-pagers on early Cabells and their kin)

- The Cabells and Their Kin in the Civil War

- Recollections of E.M. Cabell

- WWI Diary and scrapbook of Randolph McGuire Cabell (went to France with Base Hospital #45)

- Plotting the first Cabbell Land Patent (for the younger crowd to use computer graphics) Also includes a couple of .JPG files of a map and plats to help locate that patent in Goochland County

- The 1960 U-2 Spy Plane Incident, from the memoirs of Charles P. Cabell, GEN USAF who was Deputy Director of the CIA at the time. (Includes photos of the U-2 wreckage that I took at the Central Museum of the Soviet Armed Forces in Moscow in 1991)

.......

And just to show that we Cabells do not take ourselves to seriously,

- The year-2000 Williamsburg Songbook of songs Cabells may have sung between 1607 &1800

Price is $50 which includes all taxes and S/H. If you want to see more, Email me at

and I'll send you images of the CD Insert, and try to answer any questions that you may have.
