Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the Virginia of the late eighteenth century, the last outpost before the great wilderness was the town of Fincastle in Botetourt County. Frances Niederer provides a concise and engaging history of Fincastle, from its founding in 1772 to its transformation into a mecca for health seekers who came for its ferromagnesian springs. Host to a diverse architectural heritage, Fincastle boasts a number of great homes and churches that are still intact. This generously illustrated book tells the stories behind these classic structures and how each fits into the larger story of this unique Virginia town.
