Synopsis

The land was called "Virginia" by Sir Walter Raleigh. A region of natural beauty, governed by temperamental weather, the western slopes of the Alleghenies beckoned a sturdy stock of early hunters, explorers, and settlers. This is the story of how those early residents forged a home, a nation, and finally, a state, along these rocky slopes.

About the Author

Marie Mollohan is a teacher. She enjoys collecting local history. That interest led her along many mountain pathways as she explored her own family's past. She has waded snow to locate graves in old cemeteries, climbed fences to visit empty battlefields, and traveled along the highest ridge tops of the Alleghenies, all in an effort to provide background details for family stories of the past.
