Letters, business papers, poems and scraps of this and that were collected by family members in an old desk, starting about 200 years ago. All was shoved out of sight and forgotten for about seventy years. These priceless relics of our family history are now published in this book for all to see. Here you will become acquainted with Abigail and John Thomas, Hannah and Wilson, Ella and Jim, Merab and Tom and their families as you read their letters and their stories. You will travel back in time to the years after the Civil War and read about the joys and trials of life in West Virginia back then, told in the words of those who wrote letters about them.
