Oral histories and over 100 fine old pictures
Index of names
ISBN 978-097247656-0
Clinch Mountain Press 2011

Unlike the comic strip characters Snuffy Smith and Moonshine McSwine, moonshiners worked hard to put food on the table during the Depression. Nearly every secluded hollow in Far Southwest Virginia harbored a still where men, children, and even some women labored and watched out for the law. This was a part of their heritage, going back to a time before whiskey was taxed, and distilling was a normal part of the farmstead activities. Tales From the Moonshine Trade includes a wealth of pictures and stories from all the counties of Far Southwest Virginia, many of them humorous, and some tragic.

by Michael K. Shaffer

Quality Paperback, 128 pp. with Over 35 Photos
ISBN 978-097247656-0

In his impassioned speech at the Virginia Secession Convention. Washington County's delegate, John A. Campbell, concluded his fiery rhetoric with a call to arms: "I don't know but that from this hour forward my way may be lighted by the blaze of civil war." Soon his sentiment was fully embraced by his previously undecided constituents. Though no major battles were fought on Washington County's soil, it became a key supply area for Confederate armies. Union attempts to secure the coveted region resulted in targeted attempts to destroy the area's vital resources. Join Civil War historian Michael Shaffer as he reveals Washington County's Civil War sacrifices and heroism, both on and off the battlefield.

Arcadia Books

Item Image THEN AND NOW: WASHINGTON COUNTY
By Joe Tennis

Boasting three forks of the Holston River and a skyline of mile-high mountains, Washington County lies at the heart of the Virginia Highlands. Today, many miles of its railroad lines have become trails, and towns like Damascus, Abingdon, Mendota, Meadowview, and Glade Spring have grown from villages among wilderness. From Clinch Mountain to Konnarock, and from Three Springs to Glade Spring, "Then and Now: Washington County, Virginia" highlights the history and beauty of this mountainous land, showing images from the late 1800s to the late 1900s, contrasted with contemporary photographs of Washington County as it appears today. It is a journey of wild waters, wild wonders, side-of-the-road stories, and yes, even a few legends.
