This volume tells the story of Tucker County’s history through the visual records of its communities, families, and industries. Carved out of Randolph County, Virginia, in 1856, Tucker County’s early history played out in the farming communities of the Cheat River Valley. Beginning
in 1884, the shrill whistle of industrialist Henry Gassaway Davis’s railroad, the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg, woke the area to dramatic changes. New towns like Davis, Thomas, and Parsons grew up and prospered in response to the developing nation’s demand for lumber and coal. The collection features the visual evidence of how the political, economic, and natural landscape of Tucker County changed from 1880 to 1960.
