His writing shows not only that appreciation of the importance of preserving history common to many works of this type, but also a clear love of his homeland.

The territory was first settled in the late 1700s by people that the author describes with reverence: \"those who head the list for civilization, defiant of all the terrors, hardships and dangers that savage men and savage conditions could send against them, and never a helping hand did they ask from the government.\" The author includes in his history aspects of pre-colonial habitation by aboriginal peoples, early settlement and pioneer times, geography and topography, conflict with hostile Indians, the Spanish-American War and the Civil War, growth and development of the county, railroad disasters, churches, schools, elections, courts, hotels, businesses and industries, roads and railroads, murders, lynchings and celebrated court actions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost of the county residents at the time this book was written were descendants of a few pioneer families, and the author has amassed an impressive collection of family tree information, including thousands of names which are listed in the twenty-one page surname and subject index. While the author relates more than one litigation in which he was directly involved, his greatest pleasure seems to be in writing about the early times and settlers. He repeatedly returns to the theme of the simpler, purer time, when \"Congress had not then broken through the bands of the Constitution; the miners and sappers of that constitution had not then begun their work; monopolies had not been fostered; personal liberty had not then been curtailed; 'government by injunction' had not been invented…\" He writes longingly of the time before distant out-of-state capitalists owned any property in the county, and people did not need to lock their doors (\"The latch-key was always out\").

Deeds and wills, as well as census, court, marriage and death records are referenced. Books and scholarly articles are cited; war and pension records are abstracted. People are fleshed out through anecdotal accounts and letters and placed in historical context. Lawrence County, Ohio; Monroe County, West Virginia; and Bedford, Orange, Culpeper, and Middlesex Counties in Virginia receive much attention. Several vintage photographs, maps, and a full-name index of over 5,000 names add to the value of this work. In addition to the wealth of data contained in the genealogy records, this is a story of men who volunteered to fight Indians; of a man who succumbed to an epidemic while a soldier in the War of 1812; men who returned from the Civil War maimed for life; soldiers who endured grueling conditions in the trenches of World War I; a man who participated in the Normandy invasion of June 1944; two men who fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II, one in the Marshall Islands and the other, a medic, serving in Australia. It is also the story of people who did nothing that would catch the attention of historians, but who labored in the fields, sweated over hot stoves, and retained their dignity and their optimism; people who were weathered by the sun and the wind and the cold, and who met at Pleasant Ridge and Wilgus and other churches on Sunday mornings. This collection of family histories offers readers a slice of our nation's history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMabel June Malan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2011, 8.5\" x 11\", paper, index, 354 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788453724\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-M5372\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39302306594934,"sku":"101-M5372","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-m5372.png?v=1755281670"},{"product_id":"101-c5432","title":"Ohio County (West Virginia) Index, Volume 15 [3 volumes]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Index to all Ohio County Courts' Case Files and Loose Papers Part 8A: 1873-1931, etc., and the 1901 Wheeling Blue Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume 15 completes the series by continuing to publish an exciting group of Ohio County, Virginia\/West Virginia, Records—the \"Card Index to Ohio County Courts' original case files and loose papers\" housed at the West Virginia and Regional History Collection at WVU.

Much has been written about the French explorers Frontenac, Joliet, Marquette and La Salle, but little has been written until now about the English explorers Lederer, Batts, Fallam, Needham and Arthur. This volume seeks to correct that omission and includes a bibliography so that other historians can confirm the English explorers' place in history.
