Beschreibung
Towns of West Virginia: Voume I is the first entry in an ongoing series documenting the histories of small Appalachian communities across the hills and hollers of the Mountain State. Drawing on primary sources, historical archives, newspaper records, firsthand visitation, historical signs, and preservation efforts, this volume traces fifteen communities across southern and central West Virginia. The collection features a secondary focus on how those towns were created and expanded, often growing up around rivers and rail lines, and traces the towns through economic booms, natural disasters, folklore, acts of crime, and the lives of the people, famous and forgotten, who helped to shape them. ToWV also discusses the paranormal aspect and monsters that have become so prevalent in West Virginia culture as we know it today. Towns included in Volume One:. Glenville. Grantsville. Frametown. Gassaway. Sutton. Flatwoods. Rosedale & Shock. Stumptown. Sand Ridge, Millstone, and Arnoldsburg. Spencer. Hinton. Thurmond.
