Patrick Farris: Slavery in Front Royal was different from that in Tidewater

2013_Farris_6_2_09.jpg African American history in the Shenandoah Valley is as old as the history of any of the other early settlers to the area: the Germans, Dutch, English, French Huguenots and Scots-Irish. Many of these European settlers arrived as indentured servants to the British colonies, as did many early Africans, but by the mid-18th century Africans were being brought to Virginia as slaves intended to serve the duration of their lives to their masters, unless emancipated. comments

JasonWright.jpg Several years ago I appeared on Glenn Beck's television program to discuss my novel, "The Wednesday Letters."

George Bowers: Two boats

2012_09_Bowers_GeorgeW.jpg There once was a small family that took their little motor boat out on the Chesapeake Bay for a fishing excursion. The day was sunny and warm and fish were biting wonderfully.

Karen Kwiatkowski: Virginia may need an Office of the Repealer

2012_03_Kwiatkowski_KarenP.jpg Two Tennessee state legislators have proposed a new office of state government. Their idea might be a lot of fun, especially in an era when taxes are rising, drones are flying and disposable income shrinking. comments

Richard Hoover: Antiques offer drama, poetry, beauty of the past

2013_Hoover_Richard.jpg Great antiques are not defined by great expense or rarity. Nor need they come from afar, or boast a provenance from some prestigious auction house or country manor. Rather, great antiques are simply the ones that rocket their beholder straight into the drama, poetry and beauty of the past. comments

Patrick Farris: Washington, Boone passed through Front Royal in the 1800s

2013_Farris_6_2_09.jpg By the War of 1812, Front Royal was still a small community by Shenandoah Valley standards, despite being located at a nexus of transportation routes. comments
