Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SALEM, WEST VIRGINIA A small town with a big spirit. Every town has its stories, and Salem is no exception. When Salem was still in the state of Virginia, Preston Randolph, a renowned educator and pillar of the community, campaigned for Abraham Lincoln. Within these pages you will learn about the person who manufactured Salem's first electricity; the first man to sell oil that was produced and marketed in Harrison County; where in 1976 a well still existed that had been used to supply water for the stockade, where the brewery was located and Salem's great fire of 1901. This collection of historical stories of life in Salem, West Virginia---and many more---paint a vivid picture of this small town and the people who made it prosper for over 200 years. Written by Dorothy Belle Davis, a locally well-known educator, author, and newspaper columnist, these stories have been lovingly preserved and reproduced for your enjoyment. Mrs. Davis is the author of HISTORY OF HARRISON COUNTY and JOHN GEORGE JACKSON.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1800, James Simpson, a Botetourt County landowner, purchased 31 acres of land for $100 and dedicated half of the purchase to plotting a new town. The Town of Salem was officially established when Simpson recorded his ownership at Fincastle Courthouse in October 1802, and it later became the government seat when Roanoke County was carved from Botetourt County in 1838. Today, Salem is an independent city, boasting a rich tradition of educational, commercial, and residential success. Roanoke County, like Salem, has emerged from its agrarian past to become a suburban county that embraces the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as the strength and success of corporate centers and residential communities.

Download or read book Virginia POW Camps in World War II written by Dr. Kathryn Roe Coker and Jason Wetzel and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tour the camps, learn stories of the daily lives of the POWs, and discover the impact they had on the Old Dominion. During World War II, Virginians watched as German and Italian prisoners invaded the Old Dominion. At least 17,000 Germans and countless Italians lived in over twenty camps across the state and worked on five military installations. Farmers hired POWs to pick apples. Fertilizer companies, lumber yards, and hospitals hired them. At first a phenomenon of war in Virginia's backyard, these former enemy combatants became familiar to many--often developing a rapport with their employers. Among them were die-hired Nazis and Fascists, but they benefited from double standards that placed them in better jobs and conditions than African Americans. Historians Kathryn Coker and Jason Wetzel tell a different story of the Old Dominion at War.
