    Description

    The HISTORY of LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA
    1786-1946
    By Philip Lightfoot Scruggs
    The author, a native of Lynchburg has written a rather comprehensive review of the City. As Editorial Director of
    The News
    and of
    The Daily Advance
    he stressed the need for newspapermen to have more than a casual knowledge of history and believes Lynchburg to have as interesting and individualistic a history as any American city, inclusive of meriting the statement that "This, too, is Jefferson country. Not only because of his retreat, Poplar Forest, being nearby, but because of Jefferson's many close contacts with the Lynchburg of his time." Published by J.P. Bell of Lynchburg.
    Hardcover, 6" x 9", 389 pages,
