The author of this sketchy volume was for thirty-three years editor of the Abingdon
Virginian,
and the chapters which
compose it were originally parts of a series of articles written for this weekly paper for the purpose of preserving for the
use of historians scattered facts connected with the settlement of South-western
Virginia
.
The early chapters tell about Wilburn Waters,
an early settler who lived and trapped on White Top (now Iron) Mountain,
near the VA, NC and TN borders
The later chapters contain matter of more historic importance ; accounts of the first settlement in Southwest Virginia at
St. Clair's Bottom, in what is now Smyth county, where an adventurer of this name fixed his home about 1755. the
period of Braddock's defeat. The soils and products of
Washington
county, the saltworks, the natural curiosities
of Tazewell county are carefully described, and traditions of pioneer life, and reminiscences of the
war are narrated with an easy pen.
