Already, in the third decade of the nineteenth century, the
settlers in the valley of Leatherwood Creek had opened the primeval
forest to their fields of corn and tobacco on the fertile slopes
and rich bottom-lands. The stream had its name from the bush
growing on its banks, which with its tough and pliable bark served
many uses of leather among the pioneers; they made parts of their
harness with it, and the thongs which lifted their door-latches, or
tied their shoes, or held their working clothes together. The name
passed to the settlement, and then it passed to the man, who came
and went there in mystery and obloquy, and remained lastingly famed
in the annals of the region as the Leatherwood God.
