"The Early Years"

by Bill Hendrick
$12.00
Plus $3.00 SHIPPING CHARGE

"We realize that sometime in the future, maybe in another hundred years, someone else will be writing a history of the Gap, and we will be peaking from behind that same cloud! Come with us now, if you will, and we'll go back. We caution that we will stumble on our journey, but we guarantee you safe passage ... back through time ... and then home again ..." - Bill Hendrick

Looking Back: Wise County in the Early Years

by The Lonesome Pine Office on Youth
Book Title by Tammy Mefford and Laura Brannon
$40.00
Plus $3.00 SHIPPING CHARGE

The principal aim of the pictorial is to discuss in an objective and nonpartisan context issues of concern and interest to the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The book is dedicated to the people of the past who settled and developed Wise County, the people of the present who continue the proud heritage and the youth of our community who are the hope of the future.

The Tracks of My Years
by Ron Flanary
$25.00
Plus $3.00 SHIPPING CHARGE

As you will see in these pages, Ron is not only an artist; he is a photographer. When he is behind that lens, all of his talents manifest themselves; he's at his peak, doing what he enjoys most. We suggest you enjoy your front row seat and allow Ron to share his photographs along the "tracks of his years" from the hollows of home to the Pacific shore.

Coal Camps, Tipples and Mines
by Ed Wolfe
$40.00
Plus $3.00 SHIPPING CHARGE

Only the most gifted writers have the ability to create a vivid picture in a reader's mind through the use of words and phrases. The majority of people must depend on an actual photograph to depict an area or scene and can only add a few meager words to accompany it. It is perhaps from this weakness that the old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words." arose. Thus, through the use of numerous photographs depicting the Stonega Company's operations in Wise County, Ron has created a voluminous text. It is hoped that the spreading of photographs over two pages to create a panoramic view near the size of the original photograph will yield a picture worth abundantly more than a thousand words.

We are adding to these pages daily, and hope you will stop by again real soon!
