“I must warn you that you are leaning on an old worn-out horse when you rely on my stories,” wrote Joseph Harvey Bailey in the summer of 2002.
Mr. Bailey, born in 1909, had grown up among the traditions of the Potomac and Chesapeake watermen from the village of Kinsale in Westmoreland County. Nevertheless, [...]]]></description>

“Well, back in my day…” has been the opening volley for countless stories of personal conquest. Whether it was a long, tortuous walk to school, deprivations back home, confrontations in foreign war zones, or on local sports fields, nearly everyone has or has heard a tale or two about how tough it used [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Phil James
The War Between the States, 1861–’65, was a horrible ordeal. One might ponder who we would be as a nation today, but for the cost of souls and infrastructure lost during that dark period of our past.
Great effort and expense were rendered by each side to gain even the slightest upper hand to [...]]]></description>

“Who wears the apron around your house?” was, once upon a time, a teasing question asked of newlyweds. Though the husband’s profession might have required him to wear a protective apron while on the job, it was once customarily understood that the wife was the apron-wearer at home.
Through the ages, aprons have been [...]]]></description>

Friday the 26th of September, 1941—the new school year was only a few weeks old, but on that day 22-year-old Ben Hurt had to inform his classes at Greenwood High School that [...]]]></description>

Claudius Crozet didn’t originate the phrase, “If you build it, they will come,” but that adage was proven over and again wherever railroading designated a regular stopping point for its trains.

For the wary citizens of Charlottesville in the early 1920s, a very un-satisfying sight was the dwindling reserve of potable water adjacent to their new Lewis Mountain water filter plant. By the fall of 1923, a variety of groups and individuals were using the pulpit of Charlottesville’s Daily Progress newspaper to trumpet the impending crisis: “DON’T WASTE WATER!

In the several rows of plane seats in front of him, passengers had just been laughing merrily. Then, a scraping sound “like the roaring of an ocean,” followed by a bright light that had momentarily illuminated the steep, rugged terrain of Buck’s Elbow Mountain. [...]]]></description>

Small towns often nurture their young men and women to become productive citizens—and those towns are made stronger when their citizens give back to the community. Mac Sandridge came of age in a very different community than the one in which he now lives. Yet, vestiges of that bustling village of Crozet, where Mac grew up in the 1930s and ’40s, can still be found within the burgeoning Crozet where he resides again today.]]></description>
