Yes We had a Small Store about a Mile away.
When I Was about 8 or 9 I Used
to Dread Entering the Store
Because there was a 90 Year old
Man Sharp as a Tac, But Always
wanted to Tell me the History
of the Towns up
here on the Mountain. Never realy Listened
Just Nodded & Went about my Buisness.
Boy do I Miss that old Man
So true Jeff.
I did that with lots of old timers while growing up. Now I sure wish I could ask them questions and listen.
It was about 6 years ago I seriously started listening to the old boys in our area. That's when I really started to find the old stuff.

I did injoy Texas History,I may live in Virginia but am from Texas. I could not get enough, The Cival War has another place in my heart too. Pirates have also been something that has held my attention for hours on end. History is such a broad spectrum, There are so many directions to go in, its like a candy store filled with sugar Candy's, chocolates,and you can go in any direction you want to, and take in as much as you want. Texas has a lot of History, Virginia has as much if not more, the Civil War, Colonial times, battle sights, I wont bore you with all the details,LOL, We even had a local Witch ducking near by at one time. Matter of fact Witch Duck road is being widened pretty soon,alot of the homes have been bought up and removed just for that purpose. Alot of the farm land here goes back to colonial times as well. I Live up the street from where the Battle of Great Bridge was held, the original bridge is not there of course but the replacement bridge is holding up pretty well. I drive over and by the site ever day twice-to-from,,,,There are some pylons off to one side of the the new bridge, and I cant helps but wonder if those are the supports for the original bridge.
The original question about history is hard to answer , but give me some time and I will have a good answer for you...
