Description

Rich within the history and lore of Wise County, this straightforward-to-read volume is informal and anecdotal. Beginning with early exploration by Captain Christopher Gist and Dr. Thomas Walker, the writer concludes with a chapter titled “Newspapers and Radio Stations.” The chapters between are stuffed with great variety––from Indians and early settlers to teachers, schools, railroads, courthouses, jails and more. Interesting old photographs are scattered all over the pages. The index includes John Fox, Jr., the nationally recognized writer, and the well known character “Devil” John Wright, together with a lot of names of the ones less widely known.
