Virginia has long been regarded as a state with great historical significance. Yet, the noteworthy places and events of the pre-Civil War era in the Commonwealth's southwestern region, Montgomery County in particular, have long been overshadowed by those in other parts of the state. Montgomery County played significant but under-appreciated roles in Virginia and U.S. history, particularly between 1740-1860 that includes the period of Westward Expansion. This fascinating pictorial history offers a unique look at the development of Montgomery County's cultural landscape and spotlights the vital part this county played in shaping the regional and national records prior to the Civil War. Featuring Native American and European exchanges, colonization, migration and expansion, as well as the understudied and still largely invisible roles of the county's enslaved populations, this insightful narrative raises an awareness and mindfulness of the past and advances the mission of heritage conservation. Original photography and maps chronicle the societal and architectural changes during the first half of the region's recorded history and offer essential complements to the rich and well-researched text. Engaging and informative, Colonial & Antebellum Virginia: Images of Montgomery County's Historical-Cultural Landscape presents a lasting, visual legacy of Montgomery County's past.
