Book excerpt: Excerpt from West Point, Virginia, and King William County: 1888 West Point is situated at the head of York river on the Peninsula formed by the Pamunkey and Mattaponi; and is destined to become a large and important city, because of its many advantages of location for commercial and manufacturing purposes. The town site is a beautiful level plateau, sufficiently elevated to secure proper drainage, and the surrounding view cannot be surpassed. Standing on the point, may be seen five counties bordering on the York, while this river presents its splendid sheet of water free from rocks and shoals and without a bend as far as the eye can reach. This smooth body of water seems to gracefully kiss the shores of West Point and then divide in twain and form the Mattaponi and Pamunkey. Nature has provided along the shores of these three rivers all the elements for happy homes - a soil producing great varieties of fruits, vegetables, and the standard cereals. The rivers also furnish cheap food and remunerative employment for hundreds of fisherman and oystermen. In winter season the rock-fish is caught in large numbers, and the famous York river oyster figures largely in our markets. In spring and summer, crabs, both hard and soft-shell, come in abundance to our shores, and along with them shad, spotts, trout, and other fish. Thus it will be seen that the water furnishes abundant supplies for food and for shipment to other markets. As a hunting locality, this section of the country is equal to any. The plump partridge can be found in all the surrounding counties, the rivers swarm with ducks and geese, and in September and October the marshes of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey are alive with that mysterious bird, the sora. Wild deer also roam in large numbers in our woods. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book West Point written by William J. Addison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Point, located at the juncture of three rivers, is a tapestry of the American experience. The peninsula was a stronghold and religious center for the Powhatan tribes of eastern Virginia and the site of many significant events at the beginning of English settlement in America. Its story includes Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas, and Capt. John Smith. In 1655, the West family became the first British to settle the peninsula, and Bacon's Rebellion was brought to an end there in 1676. Martha Washington was born and raised near the town that was also home to Carter Braxton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. West Point was a site of Lafayette's artillery during the Battle of Yorktown. With the coming of the railroad, it became a valuable port fought over during the Civil War and later a steamship hub and riverside resort. The 20th century saw influences of immigration, two world wars, and the struggle for civil rights. Native son Gen. "Chesty" Puller became an iconic hero of the Marine Corps. This rich legacy is explored through images with an emphasis on the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century.
