Book excerpt: In the 1940's and '50's, during the "Golden Age of the Automobile", U.S. Highway 301 was a heavily traveled east coast pathway to Florida, rivaling U.S. Highway 1 in popularity. Given the nickname of "The Tobacco Trail" because of its route through the tobacco growing states of Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia, Highway 301 extends from Delaware to Sarasota, Florida, a distance of 1,100 miles. Generously illustrated with over 430 images, 254 of which are postcards, Traveling Virginia's Tobacco Trail documents the roadside history of Virginia's portion of Highway 301 including motels, gas stations, restaurants, and other travelers' services that catered to tourists when the highway was at its peak. While some remain standing today, time has not been friendly to most as they have either been demolished, repurposed, or have become derelict. But taken together they are a reminder of the time when traveling meant driving through towns and country sides at much slower paces and when it was an adventure that offered a variety of experiences that today's interstates, with their monotonous roadways and homogenous and corporatized travel centers, can never replace. It is hoped that readers of Traveling Virginia's Tobacco Trail will be inspired to seek out the roadside structures along Highway 301 that still remain and appreciate their significance before they are gone.

Over a quarter of the Georgia-to-Maine pathway passes through Virginia, going across some of the state's best mountain scenery and affording access to small-town life. Now a component of the National Park Service, the trail was, and still is, primarily built, maintained, and overseen by volunteers. Selected from the archives of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the National Park Service, and local Appalachian Trail maintenance clubs, the approximately 200 photographs in Images of America: Along Virginia's Appalachian Trail provide a look at life in the mountains before and during the trails creation, how it developed, who its early champions were, the many relocations the trail has experienced, and the volunteers who have constructed and maintained it"--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The WPA Guide to Virgina documents the vital role the Old Dominion played in the history of the first 150 years of the United States and before. It is packed with historical information, particularly from the Colonial and Revolutionary years, and supplemented with photos of historic buildings and sites. Also worth note are the artistic photographs of the state’s ordinary people and its natural beauty, including the Shenandoah and Chesapeake Bay regions.
