Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good history of the capitols of West Virginia with vintage photographs, newspaper articles, design drawings and more. From the introduction: The story of West Virginia's capitols is without doubt one of the most interesting in the United States. Born out of the bloodshed and strife of the Civil War the first Capitol was located at the city of Wheeling, where sentiment for separation from old Virginia was nurtured. The unfolding drama of political maneuvering that led to the move to Charleston and back again to Wheeling and finally to Charleston would rival any work of fiction. The wisdom of the old saying that "Truth can be stranger than fiction" has certainly been proved in this unusual story. The authors have tried to concentrate on those elements of the history that are not widely known. Since the 1885 building served for 36 years and perished in a memorable fire it has been given considerable coverage. Many of the photos are published here for the first time as it is our goal to bring to light rare scenes of long ago. We West Virginian's can be justifiably proud of our magnificent Cass Gilbert designed Capitol Building for it is among the finest in the United States and is indeed a "world class" work of art that would be at home in Paris or Rome. It has stood now for over half a century and with the care that Gilbert recommended it will stand proudly for centuries to come. The future of our magnificent Capitol will depend on the solemn recognition that it is more than just another building-it is indeed a precious work of art that merits the most thoughtful care and maintenance. It must be guarded against any who would modify or threaten the original splendid design! Every West Virginian should visit Charleston and tour their Capitol Building-it belongs to everyone and is the crowning glory of our states proud heritage!

Download or read book Kanawha County Images written by Stan Cohen and published by . This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first published, this was the first widely published book about West Virginia's most populous county since the early 1900s. Authors Stan Cohen and Richard Andre spent years researching stories of old, and painstakingly looking through archives and attics for never-before-seen photos. The result changed how we view and look back on Charleston-presenting not only a history but also a vivid picture of life in a vibrant city and county. The book begins with prehistoric people who left behind mysterious burial mounds throughout the Kanawha Valley. It covers the growing settlement, and traces the region's growth from the salt capital of the United States to the chemical capital of the world.The book is ultimately a collective snapshot of Kanawha County history, particularly the four-decade period of boundless growth between 1880 and 1920, when the population ballooned from 4,000 to 40,000. Kanawha County Images still hits all the right notes: from nostalgia, to long-disappeared landmarks, to tales never told before. This is a must-read if you want to know more about Kanawha County or remember the Charleston and nearby towns of yesteryear.
