This Fascinating History, First Published 160 Years Ago, Is A
Treasure Trove Of Descriptions Of Small Events From The Perspective
Of The Early Settlers Of The Border Regions Beyond The Blue Ridge
And Allegheny Mountains (And Extending As Far As Cincinnati And
Parts Of Kentucky). It Focuses Mainly On The Last Half Of The
Eighteenth Century, When Williamsburg Was The Bustling Capital Of
The Virginia Colony, And Patrick Henry Resided In The Governor's
Mansion. Grand Plantations Were Flourishing Along The James River,
While In The Wilderness, Pioneers Struggled Against The Elements Of
Nature And The Savages Of The Land They Were Trying To Tame. The
Information Was Gathered Mainly From Pioneers And Their Children,
Thereby Preserving These Early Family And Local Traditions. This
Book Also Covers The Early History Of Virginia And Major Events And
Leaders Such As George Washington And Some Of The Men Who Served
With Him Before And After The Revolution. However, The Main Focus
Is On The Many Smaller Deeds Of The Backwoodsmen, Early Settlers,
And Indians. Illus., Index.
