Description
Giles County, Virginia, has been shaped by its natural landscape and industrial heritage. The New River, creeks, limestone, timber, mineral springs, mountains, and railroads have all played a role in the development of the county's small communities and industries.
Today, many of these once-bustling places are quieter than they once were, but remnants of earlier times remain, offering a glimpse into the past through buildings and landscapes that still stand. This book provides an interesting comparison between old photographs and the present-day reality.
