Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Wetzel County, West Virginia The History of vvetzel County runs from the year of 1772 to the present time. The author has used great pains in securing the most important events during that time, and has succeeded as far as the interesting matter is concerned, though there may be a few incidents left out for the want of data. The most im portant ones have been secured. There may be incidents in the history of the county that would not only speak bad of the morality of the county, but would bring back remembrances of unhappy days, and things that would sadden the pages of Wet zel's History. Wetzel county for years has been suffering with a name that she does not deserve, and she is gradually blotting it out. In the history of the county there are a great many men whose lives should have been mentioned in the book but were not, from the fact that the author could not secure anything concerning them. The author has put in four months in se. Curing information and in writing this history. It does not require very much of an education to write a book of this kind.

Download or read book A History of Pleasants County West Virginia written by Robert L. Pemberton and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence of ancient moundbuilding civilizations proves that this region along the banks of the Ohio River has been considered prime real estate for a long time. Celeron de Bienville led a military voyage down the Ohio River-known in New France as La Belle Riviere-in 1749, burying lead plates along the way and claiming the land for the king of France. In 1750, the Ohio Company employed frontiersman Christopher Gist to explore the area. But even before Celeron and Gist, hunters and fur trappers penetrated the region. Tensions arose between the Europeans and the native inhabitants, developing into a rash of Indian wars and border rivalries, and producing such legendary figures as Lewis Wetzel, the Indian fighter. The Ohio River was an early highway to the frontier, bringing settlers from Pennsylvania, New York and the other colonies. Some immigrants came from the tidewater areas of Virginia and Maryland, traveling first up the Potomac River and then over the Alleghenies to the Ohio Valley. French, English, Germans, Moravians and others poured into the area. This book encompasses all aspects of the settlement of the area now known as Pleasants County, including: geographical description, rival discoveries and claims between England and France, first settlers, the Revolution, the Civil War, early industries, schools, newspapers, railroads, the oil boom, religious activities and more. The book is brimming with names of Pleasants County citizens, and includes 20 pages of biographical information about the oldest families in the area. It also contains a few portraits and photographs of local scenery.

Download or read book Between Fact and Fiction written by David L. Neidert and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Jennings Gang of Wetzel County, West Virginia reigned terror in the state's Panhandle from 1869-1873. Two stories were written about the gang, its members, and their crimes. One was labeled a history, while the other became categorized as fiction. What, however, is the core narrative if the history used the material tagged as a fictional story for its own content? Between Fact and Fiction investigates both accounts to determine the foundational and true story of the notorious gang. Emerging from newspapers, court documents, and a state's legislative records rises an accurate account of this outlaw band and their heinous crimes. It also chronicles how citizens ultimately dealt with this criminal element: vigilante justice. A band of highwaymen ruled a region for years; that is fact. How two differing accounts told the story is reconciled through this book's investigative search for the certainty of the Jennings Gang" - back cover.
