Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Lewis County, West Virginia The purpose of this volume is to trace the economic, social and political life of the people of Lewis County from the time the 'first settlers came to the Hacker's creek valley to the present. Believing that the group is more important than any of its component parts, it has been my aim to deal with the development of institu tions rather than with jfamily history, to {preseht as fully as possible a record of the whole county rather than tales of illustrious pioneers and their descendants. In order to accomplish this purpose I have selected from a great mass of material those incidents which I thought would best depict the life of the county, and I have tried to arrange them in order so as to show cause and effect, advance and retardation, of development. It is hoped that this volume will fill a long felt want. It is a rather remarkable fact, in view of the importance of Lewis County and its influence on the life of Virginia and West Virginia, that a history of the county has never been published in permanent form. There have been published at various times important works relating to certain periods, and to certain matters affecting the history of the county. The first of these was Chron icles of Border Warfare, by Alexander Scott Withers, which treats Of the history of the frontier to the Treaty of Greenville, 1795. The same period has been treated lately by Lucullus Virgil mcvvhorter, in his volume en titled Border Settlers of Northwestern Virginia. Both works are extremely valuable for a study of the early history of the county. About 1884, Hardesty's Political and Geographical Survey of Lewis County was pub lished, which contains a historical sketch Of the county very hastily and carelessly written. Many writers have contributed sketches and recollections to the county papers at different times. Under the pseudonym of Ancient, John Strange Hall wrote a series of articles for the Weston Independent depict ing customs, personages and institutions of the 'thirties. George F. Oliver contributed to the Weston Democrat a series of articles in which the author makes a compre hensive survey of conditions in Weston and Lewis Coun ty as they were in 1844. In 1917, John R. King wrote a series of articles for the lveston Independent which throw considerable light on the manners and customs of western Virginia in the period just before the Civil war. Within the past few years, Roy B. Cook, a native of the county, has made valuable contributions to the same paper in an extended Pioneer History of Lewis County and a collection of documents, annotated, on lew1s County in the Civil War.

Download or read book Lewis County written by William M. Talley and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lewis County, located in far northeastern Kentucky, was formed in 1806 and named for explorer Meriwether Lewis. The county was once teeming with industry as a supplier of finished goods and agricultural products. Historically, the county's proximity to the Ohio River allowed the export of timber and salt, and in the 1800s, railroad transportation made Lewis County an influential source of railroad ties, boat-building materials, and barrels. In later years, the area was most popular for its health resorts, spas, and "sulfur waters," which attracted visitors from as far as New York and Chicago. The images in this volume depict the county's military influence, as Lewis Countians had strong allegiance to the Union during the Civil War. The photographs featured in Images of America: Lewis County have been drawn from the archive of the Vanceburg Depot Museum and from various private collections.

Download or read book Lewis County written by Harney J. Corwin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With only a handful of incorporated villages and seven stoplights, Lewis County is unmistakably rural. Cows continue to outnumber people, and nearly two-thirds of the land remains wooded. Despite its geographical isolation, Lewis County has a colorful history dating back to the 1790s, when the first settlers from New England and France arrived. Drawing on archival images to document life in this section of New York's vast and sparsely populated North Country, Lewis County illustrates the area's rich history with photographs of the people, landmarks, and scenery that have given the various townships their distinctive character. Special attention is paid to the Black River Canal and to the economic mainstays of the region: dairy farming and the forest industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By: Rev. O.G. Ragan, Pub. 1912, reprinted 2023, 520 pages, New Index, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-135-7. Lewis County was created in 1806 out of Mason County. It sits in the far northeast part of the state just under Adams and Scioto Counties, Ohio. This book is not too different from other county history books of this era. With such topics as organization of the county, trade and transportation, labor, farming, politics, Indians, soldiers of the war of 1812 and Civil War, newspapers, and taxation - all important in the development of the county - are carefully discussed. This type of county history book can help one develop ideas or paths to those missing ancestors by showing the customs and traditions of the local residents. A particular useful feature of this book is the extensive biographical information included. This volume contains more than 70 biographical sketches with hundreds of other family members. The New index that was prepared for this reprint mentions over 3,500 persons.
