George Washington and the Virginia Backcountry
Rowman Littlefield
1998
sidottu
Beginning his lifelong association with the Virginia backcountry in 1748 when he started surveying the sparsely populated, often perilous region, Washington's entire early career and rise to national prominence was linked to the Western frontier. Only through understanding this relationship between the man and the region can we understand Virginia's lifelong impact on the founder. This collection of essays explores the role that the geography and diverse inhabitants of this burgeoning area played in molding Washington's life, temperament, and politics. Written by authoritative Washington scholars—including John E. Ferling, Don Higginbotham, Robert D. Mitchell, Dorothy Twohig, Bruce A. Ragsdale, J. Frederick Fausz, and Philander D. Chase—these essays present the young leader against the complex and changing backdrop of the West. As a whole, this book offers a fine and multi-faceted analysis of the environmental factors that influenced the development of America's founder. Individually, each essay demonstrates that Washington's story and Virginia's are the same tale—no where else are "place" and "personality" so closely linked.

The Backcountry Towns of Colonial Virginia
Christopher Hendricks
University of Tennessee Press
2006
sidottu
For decades historians and historical geographers have neglected the study of town life in the colonial South, simply portraying towns as the result of increasing population density. The Backcountry Towns of Colonial Virginia, the first comprehensive study of town development in the interior of the colonial South, marshals evidence that planned urban settlements were the essential agents in accelerating westward expansion.Through the analysis of twenty-five attempts to create towns in the Virginia backcountry, the work demonstrates there was a distinctly southern urbanmovement in the colonial period. It explores the factors that lead to the success or failure of a community and examines how each backcountry region operated as an economic unit uniquely suited to its development. Towns opened up land, attracting people to move into new areas or participate in new business opportunities. They furthered settlement, influenced immigration, created family and socialnetworks, and fostered the development of trade and systems of credit. The actions of a few individuals and groups of people resulted in the rapid occupation, settlement, and development of the Virginia backcountry through the consciouscreation of economic and social forces.The most complete study of southern towns since John Reps’s Tidewater Towns, The Backcountry Towns of Colonial Virginia offers a new understanding of property ownership, burgeoning trade, and immigration factors–the very elements of urban centers–in backcountry Virginia.

Come Back and See Us: A Childhood in Depression-era Virginia

Independently Published

Glen Whitacre was born to tenant farmers at the start of The Great Depression. His father was an orchard foreman who was hired throughout Frederick County, Virginia and Berkeley County, West Virginia. With each new job, the family received a tenant house, a garden plot, and a dollar a day. Electricity and indoor plumbing optional. Whitacre records his childhood year by year. Local historians and genealogists will find detailed descriptions of Depression-era tenant farming, orchards, schools, farm machinery, and household equipment. He gives a window into life dependent upon communal efforts for survival, such as community canning, butchering, and bartering. Whitacre's fascination with early cameras, radios and recording equipment chronicles an age of booming technological advancements and a way of life fading from our cultural memory.Surnames: (Primarily)Whitacre, DeHaven, Haines (Also) Clark, Crumb, Flowers, Funk Guthrie, Harper, Hutton, Jameison, Jimps, Johnson (of Richmond), Joliffe, Kersey Luttrell, Munoz Noya, Sheetz, Ussery, Woodfin
