Chronicled on these pages are the names and stories of a closely-knit group of intrepid pioneers of English and Scotch-Irish ancestry, who in the early 1740's left the relative safety of the Potomac Path and traveled the Ox Road into the forested foothills of the Virginia Piedmont. Settling near the crossroads of Indian paths later known as the Colchester and Carolina Roads, today Gilbert's Corner, and along Little River of Goose Creek, including Owsley's Branch, this group began to clear and till the land to establish their homesteads. Their ancestors had been among the first settlers along the banks of the Potomac River between Dogue Creek and the Occoquan River. The network of families included Hall, West, Owsley, Smarr, Stephens, Pearl, Owens and Murray. Other Potomac Path English families who acquired land in the Little River neighborhood included Carter, Mercer, Washington, Fairfax, Cocke, Green, Marshall, Wade, and Bayley.An in-depth study of the origin and development of Robert Carter III's Goose Creek Tract details the owners of land grants near the south half of the 1727 Goose Creek Tract grant, and secondly the rise of tenancy on Goose Creek Tract beginning in 1755 is explored based on Robert Carter III's personal papers and from other original documents. The individual leases are mapped to provide a visualization of their location, and are organized by general location; the southeast quarter later owned by William Carr Sr.'s estate, the southwest quarter later owned by Joseph Jones and President James Monroe, and the north quarters later owned by Robert Carter III's sons George and John Tasker Carter beginning in 1798. An analysis of Loudoun County Land Tax lists is used to identify and track the ownership of the leases from 1782 to 1830.This volume is the second of an American history series that chronicles the passage of a group of English and Scotch-Irish pioneers through a series of frontiers, beginning at Jamestown, Virginia, then up the Potomac River, later inward to the Virginia Piedmont, next westward to Kentucky and finally into the heartland of Missouri.

" In 1908 John C. Campbell was commissioned by the Russell Sage Foundation to conduct a survey of conditions in Appalachia and the aid work being done in these areas to create "the central repository of data concerning conditions in the mountains to which workers in the field might turn." Originally published in 1921, The Southern Highlander and His Homeland details Campbell's experiences and findings during his travels in the region, observing unique aspects of mountain communities such as their religion, family life, and forms of entertainment. Campbell's landmark work paved the way for folk schools, agricultural cooperatives, handicraft guilds, the frontier nursing service, better roads, and a sense of pride in mountain life -- the very roots of Appalachian preservation.

" An essential resource for scholars, students, and all lovers of the Mountaineer State. From bloody skirmishes with Indians on the early frontier to the Logan County mine war, the story of West Virginia is punctuated with episodes as colorful and rugged as the mountains that dominate its landscape. In this first modern comprehensive history, Otis Rice and Stephen Brown balance these episodes of mountaineer individualism against the complexities of industrial development and the growth of social institutions, analyzing the events and personalities that have shaped the state. To create this history, the authors weave together many strands from the past and present. Included among these are geological and geographical features; the prehistoric inhabitants; exploration and settlement; relations with the Indians; the land systems and patterns of ownership; the Civil War and the formation of the state from the western counties of Virginia; the legacy of Reconstruction; politics and government; industrial development; labor problems and advances; and cultural aspects such as folkways, education, religion, and national and ethnic influences. For this second edition, the authors have added a new chapter, bringing the original material up to date and carrying the West Virginia story through the presidential election of 1992. Otis K. Rice is professor emeritus of history and Stephen W. Brown is professor of history at West Virginia Institute of Technology.
