Montgomery County, Virginia was a "stem" county for much of the western expansion and sets astride the great migration trails west and south. The author has transcribed original sources that elucidate the history of this country's first century through the late nineteenth century. A sampling of the documentation includes personal diaries, military roles, county court records, reminiscences of past citizens of the county, and a wide range of other valuable sources. This volume is destined to be a "classic" for references to the earliest records of Montgomery and its subsequent divisions.
