Summary: A River of Memories
Comment: America The Beautiful, God shed His grace on thee! West Virginia, the Mountain State is called "wild and wonderful". I urge you to get this remarkable book about a unique river in central West Virginia. It is well researched, well written, and interesting to read.

Meet many of the people who live along the river and hear their stories. Learn about the Shay locomotive and the influence of the railroad here as logging camps and saw mills sprang up during the early 1900's. Memories of the first automobiles in the area that were ridden across the river before bridges were built are wonderful. Read with admiration of the early settlers in this spectacular setting and how they coped with the cold winters, the thick forests, the steep mountains, and the civil war.

If you like to read books of true American history and find pleasure learning about scenic wilderness areas, you will enjoy this masterpiece about a special river and those dramatic rocks that make it unique.

There are maps, pictures, vivid descriptions of the entire river and surrounding area as the author walked the length of it to give us an accurate account. This reader is grateful.
