During the robust and arduous times to come, Lynchburg continued to thrive by developing diverse industries and eventually becoming a respected educational center.

This history not only treats the initial phases of Campbell County's settlement and the three major streams of immigration-Quaker, Presbyterian, and Anglican-but also identifies the early patentees, the Quakers who moved from South River, the founders and settlers of Lynchburg and surrounding towns and villages, ministers, lawyers, court clerks, judges, military veterans, and pensioners. Of paramount importance for genealogists is the 200-page section devoted to Campbell County genealogies.

In July 1864, while hemmed in by Grant at Richmond, General Robert E. Lee conceived a bold plan designed not only to relieve Lynchburg and protect the Confederate supply line but also to ultimately make a bold move on Washington itself. A major facet of this plan, with the addition of General Jubal Early's forces, became the rescue of the almost 15,000 Confederate prisoners at Point Lookout, a large Union prison camp at the confluence of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. With international recognition hanging in the balance for the Confederacy, the failure of Lee's plan saved the Union and ultimately changed the course of the war. This work focuses on the many factors that contributed to this eventual failure, including Early's somewhat inexplicable hesitancy, a significant loss of time for Confederate troops en route, and aggressive defensive action by Union General Lew Wallace. It also discusses various circumstances such as Washington's stripped defenses, the potential release of imprisoned Southern troops and a breakdown of Union military intelligence that made Lee's gamble a brilliant, well-founded strategy.

From Squirt Blossom to Goddess traces Helen McGehee's development from her childhood in the quiet, conservative city of Lynchburg, Virginia, to soloist in the Martha Graham Company. Thanks to her family, Helen grew up surrounded by art, acquired a passion for sewing, and an even greater passion for, and extensive knowledge of Greek mythology - all essential preparation for her future career. The location of Randolph-Macon Woman's College in her hometown was even more fortuitous in Helen's development as a dancer than her family. It was at the college that Helen began dancing, experienced performances by some of the great dance companies of the US, met Martha Graham, accepted her challenge to forget about being a Latin teacher and, much to her family's horror, decided to plunge into the uncertain world of dance. Aside from the perils of surviving in a precarious profession, working with a genius like Martha Graham had its own unique challenges and tribulations.
