"Tom Holt's Appomattox River" contains images and stories of the
Appomattox River between Petersburg, Virginia and Lake Chesdin. My
Great Great Grandfather Clemans Holt and his family came down the
river from Amelia County to work in the Matoaca Cotton Mill in the
late 1840's. My Grandfather Thomas (Tom) Holt was a bateauman. A
bateau is the French word for the type of shallow-bottom boat that
was used on the rivers to transport products. He was born in 1878
in the village of Matoaca. The Holt family's history and stories
are closely tied to the Appomattox River. With images and stories,
this book shows some of the things my Grandfather would have seen
along the river and its canal in Petersburg and Dinwiddie County. I
am Tom's grandson and the book shows some of the things I have seen
on the river more recently.
