Louisa and Louisa County

Description

Filled with local stories and anecdotes and containing an impressive range of photographs, from snapshots of veterans of the War Between the States to high school class pictures from the 1950s; from early images of the resort area to photographs documenting recent changes to Louisa, this new book will earn a lasting place on area bookshelves and will be handed down from generation to generation for years to come. Louisa and Louisa County will be enjoyed by older folk as a trip down memory lane, and appreciated by younger generations as a glimpse of an era when life was harder, but perhaps simpler. Also a valuable source of information for newcomers to the area, this powerful work serves to remind us of the importance of understanding our past and preserving our heritage in our march toward the twenty-first century.;Title Page; Copyright Page; Dedication; Table of Contents; INTRODUCTION; One -- LOUISA COUNTY; Two -- CONFEDERACY, NEW COURTHOUSE, AND COMMUNITIES; Three -- COURTHOUSE VILLAGE; Four -- BUSINESSES; Five -- RESIDENCES; Six -- CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
