The Great Valley Mary Johnston

The valley is that of the Shenadoah in Virginia, where a Scottish minister settles with his family in 1735. A novel about a peace-loving Virginia gentleman in an ungentle time by a Virginia native, the daughter of Confederate Major John William Johnston, and the author of swashbuckling bestsellers including To Have and To Hold and Sweet Rocket, which has some cachet as a minor classic of fantasy.
