Book excerpt: Scenic, busy, friendly--Clifton Forge has greeted visitors with this motto for over 60 years. It was originally named Williamson after the founding family who settled here as pioneers in the early 1800s. For a time, it was the center of the iron ore industry in Virginia. By 1857, the railroad had found its way here, and when the village became a town in 1884, it adopted the name Clifton Forge from a nearby iron furnace. It was a strategic location on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, which developed a large railroad yard and locomotive and repair shops. It was a classic railroad boomtown and was a thriving community until the shops closed in the late 1980s. Today, Clifton Forge remains a strong community of proud citizens and is undergoing renewal and revitalization that focuses on its rich natural beauty and railroad and architectural heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alleghany County was formed in 1822 from parts of Botetourt, Bath, and Monroe Counties. The area was settled in 1746, and by the early part of the 19th century, a number of settlements and large farms were operating locally. Covington, Clifton Forge, Iron Gate, Longdale, Selma, Low Moor, and other small communities developed, and the natural resources in the area led to the establishment of several industrial operations. The railroad came to Selma in 1857, and after the Civil War, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad was completed to Huntington, West Virginia. The abundance of timber, rich deposits of iron ore, and accessibility to rails, rivers, and streams contributed to industrial growth. Brickyards, lumber mills, tanneries, iron smelters, and agricultural operations attracted other businesses and industries, bringing rapid growth to the area. In Covington, the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company built a mill in 1899. Ever since, the company has served as the county’s economic mainstay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This presents the architectural development of one of Virginia's major cities, from its founding in 1786 to the present. More than 175 photographs and 150 drawings, prints, and early pictures illustrate the historic significance of this "city of seven hills." Major architectural styles are represented by structures designed by nationally prominent architects of the day, including Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Jason Davis, Ralph Adams Cram, and Vincent Kling. Influenced by their Quaker origins, early Lynchburg builders were conservative. It was not until the 1890s "boom" that more exuberant architecture gave the city a Victorian countenance. Eventually, Lynchburg could boast some of the most impressive residential enclaves in the state, with Tudor, Norman, and Spanish Revival houses. Predictably, the traditional Virginia Georgian proved to be the most popular of the period styles. -- From publisher's description.
