Yet just beyond these well-told stories lies Kearneysville, known to many only as the site of Traveler's Rest, the home of General Horatio Gates, one of three Revolutionary War generals who built residences in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, then Berkeley County, Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together the many additional stories woven into Kearneysville's past. Within these pages are glimpses of the men and women who discovered opportunity in this fertile area and worked to secure a livelihood for themselves and their families. They shaped a community by participating in government, building schools and churches, solving local challenges, and responding, sometimes loudly, to pressures from outside influences. They celebrated successes, shared sorrows, and forged the foundations of a town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsie Hamstead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633855473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633855472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Word Association Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Elsie Hamstead","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450379710719,"sku":"9781633855472","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3dd175a-d811-4cae-9372-c685c2d9de95.jpg?v=1777267442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-small-village-elsie-hamstead-9781633855472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
