Pages : 378
Book Description
This is a reprint of David Trimble's most popular book, American Origins. Brought back by popular demand. Because David sold all copies of this book years ago, I was unable to obtain one in "like new" condition. This book was created by scanning the pages of someone's used copy. It will contain a few markings and notes but still serves as an excellent Genealogy reference.

Soldier of Southwestern Virginia
Author: James I. Robertson
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807148016
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Far more than a documentation of the horrors and banality of the Civil War, John Preston Sheffey's literate and witty writings demonstrate his ardor for battle, his love of Virginia, and his passion in waging a most arduous and suspenseful campaign: to win Josephine Spiller as his wife. Superbly edited by James I. Robertson, Jr., Sheffey's letters are the first published correspondence by a member of the 8th Virginia Cavalry. A native of Marion, Virginia, Sheffey provides an invaluable picture of socio-military affairs in the overlooked western and southwestern regions of the state. His combination of intimate minute-to-minute, day-to-day recording and larger insight into the dynamics of men, terrain, supplies, and protocol make this collection unique. Sheffey's more than ninety letters are a singular source of interest for revealing the paradoxes and tragedies of isolated but vital Civil War skirmishes in southwest Virginia.

Southwest Virginia's Railroad
Author: Kenneth W. Noe
Publisher: University of Alabama Press
ISBN: 0817350640
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
A close study of one region of Appalachia that experienced economic vitality and strong sectionalism before the Civil War This book examines the construction of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad through southwest Virginia in the 1850s, before the Civil War began. The building and operation of the railroad reoriented the economy of the region toward staple crops and slave labor. Thus, during the secession crisis, southwest Virginia broke with northwestern Virginia and embraced the Confederacy. Ironically, however, it was the railroad that brought waves of Union raiders to the area during the war
