Virginia Place Names
Author: Raus McDill Hanson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Names, Geographical
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
What Virginia county, river, mountain range and town share the same name--a name which means "Daughter of the Stars"? Any age group can easily find some surprises, and some humorous historical examples where the local residents had difficulties in agreeing on the name chosen. So the "mail can go through", post offices must have distinct names but geographical place names, which show much less originality and even a bit over-used, are rather frequent. The organization of the book into county areas and the largest independent cities, together with its index were planned to make it a ready reference. Adults will find the book has helpful and concise information for many places, a great amount of history as well as geography. The included information for many places make the book rank as a Virginia encyclopedia. -- Front book flap.
