Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lynchburg and Its People I cannot claim that the history of Lynchburg is of greater importance than that of other places, except to the people of Lynchburg. It may be of interest to them to learn of the struggles through which the fathers passed to establish our native city, and coming generations may be concerned to know what we did to make life more comfortable, and to bequeath to them larger opportunities for usefulness. Such are the limitations of my work that I have not been able to tell all that I would have liked to tell, neither have I found time and space to trace family histories, interesting of course to the families. I have spoken of people only as they were connected with the town's history, hence many worthy citizens have not been mentioned because their quiet life kept them out of the public view. At the risk of being tedious, I have given the names of the citizens who took part in affairs of importance, in order that the men and the movements might be associated together. The work could have been done better, but with the responsibility of a large church, I have done what I could, and I trust that my efforts will be looked upon by my townspeople with a leniency that should view a labor largely inspired by love.

Download or read book A Biography of Lynchburg written by M. Andrew Holowchak and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lynchburg, Virginia, is not and has never been a typical Southern city. It grew and thrived not by commitment to agriculture, but manufacture. All the while, it retained its cultural identity as a Southern city, wedded to Southern “gentlemanliness” with all of its implications. Though a slow and conservative city, Lynchburg has developed a unique identity. It is a city with enormous vitality, great engagement, and large resiliency in large affairs or times of crisis (such as the Civil War, depressions and booms). Its resolve, measured and passionless, is essentially Stoical. More than the sum of its people-parts, it is a city with a soul. Beginning with the early history of Virginia, this book covers seriatim Lynchburg’s infrastructure (such as its canal and railroad systems), religious/educative legacy, economics, key moments, and other defining aspects (including newspapers, politics, medicine, and entertainment).
Download or read book Resources and Advantages of Lynchburg Virginia written by Lynchburg Lynchburg and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Resources and Advantages of Lynchburg, Virginia: And Tributary Country The present population is about 12,000. Climate. The topography of the city and surrounding country, its elevation above the sea, (about 800 feet, ) and the purity of the atmosphere, make this climate singularly healthy, and especially beneficial to invalids suffering from debility or pulmonary disease. There are no marshes or stagnant waters, and the country is free from malarial fevers. The winters are short, lasting usually not more than three months, (December, January and February, ) and are generally dry and pleasant. Snow seldom lies on the ground longer than a few days, and there is but little interruption to agricultural labours during the entire winter. The heat of summer, which is never extreme, is tempered by the cooling southwest breezes, as well as by the winds from the neighbouring mountains. The nights are always pleasant and refreshing. During the summer months, near the eastern base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, there are more frequent showers than in any other part of Eastern Virginia. The reason for this is to be found in the fact that the prevailing wind at this season is a sea breeze, by which the moisture, driven against this mountain barrier, (4,000 feet above the level of the sea, ) meets with a colder stratum of air, is condensed, and produces the summer showers which refresh and invigorate the growing crops, while in the remoter sections the ground is parched and dry.
