Images of America: Blennerhassett Island reveals for the first time the pictorial past of the Ohio River's most famous island. Located one-and-a-half miles west of Parkersburg, West Virginia, it sprang into national fame two centuries ago as the headquarters of Aaron Burr's 1806-1807 conspiracy to create an empire in the Southwest. The island also was renowned as the site of the American West's most beautiful home: the legendary Blennerhassett Mansion, completed in 1800 only to be destroyed by fire 11 years later. This volume's more than 200 fascinating pictures--most never published before--will take the reader on an exciting adventure through time, beginning with the island's glamorous Burr/Blennerhassett years; through its 19th century steamboat era; and into the 20th century, when it became the playground of the Mid-Ohio Valley. The final images portray the 1980 creation of Blennerhassett Island as a popular West Virginia state park with the reconstructed Blennerhassett Mansion as its centerpiece.

Are there ghosts on Blennerhassett Island? Without question, the island with its reconstructed mansion (now a West Virginia State Park) is historically significant. But it is also steeped in tragedy. The Blennerhassett story, which began with a wealthy couple's extravagant vision of a paradise in the wilderness, would eventually become a riches-to-rags story. Their dramatic, star-crossed story can best be told with truth and tale. It began with a dream. Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett arrived in the Ohio Valley from England in 1797, bringing wealth and refinement to the emerging frontier settlements of Marietta, Ohio and Parkersburg, Virginia (now West Virginia.) Their island property, located in the middle of the Ohio River, became the site of a luxurious estate, said to be one of the grandest homes in the West. But their attempts to create paradise were soon fraught with disappointment and failure. Eventually, their alliance with former Vice President Aaron Burr in what became known as the Aaron Burr Conspiracy resulted in their ruin.Margaret's Ghost and Other True and Tragic Stories of Blennerhassett Island combines history and hearsay to colorfully tell their heartbreaking story.
