Book Description
Pricketts Fort was built on the land of Jacob Prickett in 1774, during what is known as Lord Dunmore's War. It provided sanctuary for local settlers before and during the American Revolution and was a safe haven from the attacks of American Indians until the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. Constructed by local militia on a small rise near the confluence of Pricketts Creek and the Monongahela River, Pricketts Fort provided refuge for approximately 80 families. The fort itself was large by 18th-century standards. It had blockhouses at each corner, with walls 12 feet high and 110 feet long. Although the fort was never attacked, many outlying homes were, and a number of settlers lost their lives. Today, Pricketts Fort hosts visitors looking to learn more about day-to-day life on the western Virginian frontier.

Book Description
Through fire, flood and war, bolstered by the wealth of its natural resources, Fairmont began as a town of wooden houses and progressed to a city of skyscrapers. Over 150 structures in the historic downtown of Fairmont, West Virginia are documented in this volume, the first-ever researched work of the city's architectural history. Highlighted are those structures from Fairmont's period of astronomical growth, 1890 to 1930.
