It is the second-largest county in Virginia by total area, and it completely surrounds the independent cities of Staunton and Waynesboro. The county seat of Augusta is Staunton, although most of the administrative services have offices in neighboring Verona.

Download or read book Shenandoah written by Sue Eisenfeld and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fifteen years Sue Eisenfeld hiked in Shenandoah National Park in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, unaware of the tragic history behind the creation of the park. In this travel narrative, she tells the story of her on-the-ground discovery of the relics and memories a few thousand mountain residents left behind when the government used eminent domain to kick the people off their land to create the park. With historic maps and notes from hikers who explored before her, Eisenfeld and her husband hike, backpack, and bushwhack the hills and the hollows of this beloved but misbegotten place, searching for stories. Descendants recount memories of their ancestors “grieving themselves to death,” and they continue to speak of their people’s displacement from the land as an untold national tragedy. Shenandoah: A Story of Conservation and Betrayal is Eisenfeld’s personal journey into the park’s hidden past based on her off-trail explorations. She describes the turmoil of residents’ removal as well as the human face of the government officials behind the formation of the park. In this conflict between conservation for the benefit of a nation and private land ownership, she explores her own complicated personal relationship with the park—a relationship she would not have without the heartbreak of the thousands of people removed from their homes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ulster Presbyterians, or "Scotch-Irish," to whom history has ascribed the dominant rôle among the pioneer folk of the Old Southwest, began their migrations to America in the latter years of the seventeenth century. It is not known with certainty precisely when or where the first immigrants of their race arrived in this country, but soon after 1680 they were to be found in several of the colonies. It was not long, indeed, before they were entering in numbers at the port of Philadelphia and were making Pennsylvania the chief center of their activities in the New World. By 1726 they had established settlements in several counties behind Philadelphia. Ten years later they had begun their great trek southward through 2 the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and on to the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina. There they met others of their own race-bold men like themselves, hungry after land-who were coming in through Charleston and pushing their way up the rivers from the seacoast to the "Back Country," in search of homes.

Book excerpt: "Author Thomas Lewis looks beyond the legendary exploits and heroic tales of pioneers to ask penetrating questions about who these immigrants were and why they flowed to America in such numbers. He wonders how, unlike earlier colonists, they avoided conflict with Native Americans for nearly two decades; who were the Native Americans in the area; and what sparked the recurring explosions of war as the Scotch-Irish started to move west from the rich and peaceful Shenandoah Valley."--Jacket.
