Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their DescendantsThis exhaustive regional history of the parent county of nine present-day Virginia or West Virginia counties features, in addition to genealogical accounts of Shenandoah pioneers Joist Hite, Daniel Morgan and others, several hundred detailed genealogical and biographical sketches of early families of old Frederick County. (Note: Clearfield's reprint edition contains the vastly improved index to the original 1908 publication which was prepared in 1963 by the Virginia Book Company.) |
