During the period from 1730 to 1800, not one town was developed in Southside Virginia, despite tremendous economic development and population growth. Charles Farmer asserts that the characteristics of the tobacco production and trade and the use of slave labor were the primary reasons for the lack of development in the region. In this text, Farmer examines these issues as well as the importance and persistence of country store trade.

A rich, fascinating history permeates Southside Virginia, a grouping of seven picturesque counties nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In this compelling new book, author and historian Herman Melton offers a collection of historical vignettes that explore past of this beautiful Virginian landscape, revealing an exciting array of intriguing characters and fascinating stories. As Melton delves into the world of Southside Virginia's inhabitants, we meet Carson Davenport, an artist who paints a mural as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's relief program for unemployed artists during the Great Depression. We learn about the workings of a gristmill, an essential element of the region's economy, built by Thomas Jefferson's uncle, George, in the year Pittsylvania County was founded. On a more sinister side, Melton also exposes the saga of a Civilian Conservation Corp camp that was converted into a prisoner of war camp for World War II German naval personnel. Southside Virginia's long history is at once dark and dazzling. From the suffocating blanket of slavery to the welcome changes of the Industrial Revolution, this area east of the Blue Ridge Mountains offers a story that spans the gamut of the American experience. Using precise details and beautiful illustrations, Herman Melton weaves a story that will strike a chord with Southside residents both old and new.

This book is equal parts humorous and informative. It is an insiders guide to what often feels like a foreign language to those who grew up outside of Southside Virginia. Comprising the counties in the south central part of the state, Southside is know for its rural farming culture, hospitality, faith, family, work ethic, and simple living. The slang, dialect, and expressions commonly used throughout Southside may be baffling to non-native speakers.

You will also learn the difference between a country boy and a redneck as well a how to interpret the ever-confusing multiple meanings of y'all. Here's an example of the types of things you'll learn:Term: He fell outta the ugly tree and hit ev'ry branch on the way down. Definition: phrase used jovially to describe someone who is extremely unattractiveYankee translation: Just so you know, we don't actually have ugly trees in the South. All of our trees are attractive. Example: I can't believe she's datin' him. I mean he feel outta the ugly tree and hit ev'ry branch on the way down. Bless his heart.What Yer Momndem Say Aboat This Here Book:"This shore is a good book for all them Yankees that come down here and need some learnin' on how to talk!" - Virginia S., Homemaker in Prince Edward County "Great day! Brunswick stew, chittlins, and cow patties all in one book!" - Charlotte C., Family matriarch in Lunenburg County"I can't believe they're givin' away all our secrets!" - Johnny R., Electrical lineman in Prince Edward County"This is a very informative, educational, and insightful foray into how these Southsiders communicate.
