Product Description
Charles Town, located in the Shenandoah Valley of West Virginia, was petitioned in 1786 and founded on January 7, 1787, by Charles Washington, George's youngest brother. Many of this historic community's streets are named for Washington family members including Mildred and Samuel. The Jefferson County Courthouse, made famous as the location for the 1859 treason trial of the abolitionist John Brown and the 1922 Miners' Trials, sits in the center of town on one of the original four lots platted by Charles for community use. Today, Charles Town retains its original small town charm while attracting visitors with such diverse activities as The Charles Town Races and Slots and nearby hiking and whitewater rafting.

"Charles Town" Excells! January 26, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Dolly Nasby has done it again! After reading her Harpers Ferry book, I was on the lookout for any other books by her. She combined the visual appeal of archival photos with excellent use of factual material. In addition, she covered many of the important points that pertain to Charles Town -- the connections to the Washington Family, the Race Track, the Treason Trials, Black History, local people and their positions, everything! After reading her book I feel I have a good understanding of Charles Town, both from yesterday and a feel for it today. I can't wait to see if she does any other books!
