Book Description
Originally published in 1892, this combination mug book/gazetteer was the first of its kind on the state of Virginia. The essays on the history, topography, geology, and natural resources of southwest Virginia were written by "well-known scientists and men of letters, and the facts set forth by them, while in some instances astounding, are correct." The biographical sketches are of "honorable men" from all walks of life. "Here will be found instances of men rising, by individual merit alone, from penury and obscurity to wealth and distinction; of many who, in pride and strength of young manhood, left the farm and the anvil, the lawyer's office and the counting-room, left every trade and profession, and, at their country's call, went forth valiantly to do or die.... Here, also, will be found men whose lives illumine the pages of a nation's history, and whose deeds in war and statesmanship reflect naught but honor upon a noble people - men in whose lives are united the glorious Old South with the unparalleled New."

Book Description
Prominent Virginia families sleep eternally in a cemetery overlooking Sunnyside, their ancestral home. A peaceful resting place, nestled among the familiar hills they loved so much. Their joys and tears during their time on earth, forgotten as the decades moved on. Their life stories are now uncovered to be remembered for future generations. We can learn from the pain and struggles beginning with the birth of our nation. They can teach us about the core values and their magnificent vision for a republic. These notable Scottish and English ancestors left their heraldry for America's wilderness to become some of the first pioneer families in Southwest Virginia.

Pages : 718
Book Description
Excerpt from History of Tazewell Country: And Southwest Virginia, 1748-1920 The history has been arranged in as nearly chronological order as it was possible for me to place it. It is hardly necessary for me to say that it has been truly a labor of love to write about the deeds and accomplishments of the splendid men and women who were the pioneer settlers of the Clinch Valley and other sections of Southwest Virginia. And it has been a pleasant task to compile and relate the ways and means that have been used bv their descend ants and successors to bring this section of Virginia to its present social and industrial high position. My earnest hope and desire is, that its people shall continue to advance on these lines until they have attained the most exalted stage of Christian civilization and human freedom.
