Book excerpt: Pioneer life and local history have been a passion for Robert and Anna Campbell, lifelong residents of Nicholas County, West Virginia. They were amazed at how Irish, English, and Scottish ancestors survived in the mountains for generations. Robert was known as a storyteller. Family and friends would sit on the porch or in the living room for hours and listen to his detailed accounts of family and life in the central West Virginia mountains. One of Robert's favorite stories was telling how his grandfather Campbell built a dynamo to produce electricity for the family's mill on Muddlety Creek and was instrumental in getting electricity to the town of Summersville. Anna loves history and writing. She enjoys talking and corresponding with others to learn more about ancestors and families who settled in the area.The Campbells were approached by the owner of The Nicholas Chronicle to write stories for a weekly newspaper column, The Passage of Time, published from 2008-2012. They received positive response to the stories and had several requests that the stories be published in a book. Robert passed away in 2015, but the stories that he and Anna cherished and shared with others will continue to live on. The stories with pictures portray the culture, character, creativity, Christian values, and the caring people that made Nicholas County, West Virginia a unique place to live for generations.Some of the families in the stories include: Starbuck, Campbell, Reynolds, Murphy, Gregory, Breckinridge, Alderson, Brown, Cavendish, Harlow, McClung, Tyree, Bays, Duffy, Bryant, Baker, Hill, Sebert, Whitman, Beirne, Dorsey, Cummings, and Grose. The stories loosely trace the roots of Nicholas County residents from the 1600's to 2012. Events such as World War II and how it impacted the people of Nicholas County are featured in several stories. Businesses such as Campbell Electric Company, Walker Brothers (brick and pottery), Peters Creek Coal Company, and Ely-Thomas Lumber Company are featured in the stories. Other stories focus on community establishments such as schools, churches, cemeteries, and notable buildings. Pioneer life stories on aprons; quilts and coverlets; wash day in Appalachia; crocks, churns, and stone jars; handwritten letters and cards; home deliveries; and children's games provide insights into earlier times.Robert and Anna Campbell turned their appreciation of those who preceded them into a gift for the people of Nicholas County and beyond. The stories are the threads that bind the past to the present to create a tapestry that provides context for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " An essential resource for scholars, students, and all lovers of the Mountaineer State. From bloody skirmishes with Indians on the early frontier to the Logan County mine war, the story of West Virginia is punctuated with episodes as colorful and rugged as the mountains that dominate its landscape. In this first modern comprehensive history, Otis Rice and Stephen Brown balance these episodes of mountaineer individualism against the complexities of industrial development and the growth of social institutions, analyzing the events and personalities that have shaped the state. To create this history, the authors weave together many strands from the past and present. Included among these are geological and geographical features; the prehistoric inhabitants; exploration and settlement; relations with the Indians; the land systems and patterns of ownership; the Civil War and the formation of the state from the western counties of Virginia; the legacy of Reconstruction; politics and government; industrial development; labor problems and advances; and cultural aspects such as folkways, education, religion, and national and ethnic influences. For this second edition, the authors have added a new chapter, bringing the original material up to date and carrying the West Virginia story through the presidential election of 1992. Otis K. Rice is professor emeritus of history and Stephen W. Brown is professor of history at West Virginia Institute of Technology.

Download or read book Roane County, West Virginia Families written by William H. Bishop and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bishop's "History of Roane County" is the standard work on its subject, but its chief appeal to the genealogist can be found in the hundreds of genealogical and historical essays of pioneer families of Roane County that comprise the second half of the work. Those essays, which, in most cases, are based upon interviews conducted by the author with a surviving family member, generally go back to the early nineteenth century and pertain to migrants from Virginia and the middle states possessing British, Irish, or Scotch-Irish stock.
