Book Description
In the spring of 1757, the Lynch brothers established a ferry across the James River to transport settlers on their way to the Ohio Valley. Within a decade, the settlement clustered around the ferry house became known as Lynchburg. For a century, the city was regarded as one of the most important transportation centers in the Upper South, although its real fortune lay in tobacco. After the Civil War, Lynchburg evolved into a manufacturing center with a broadly based economy. As it marks its 250th anniversary, Lynchburg has become a focus for higher education and tourism in Central Virginia. From the development of the modern camera to the current digital revolution, this photographic record of Lynchburg and the surrounding counties' growth is rich, varied, and traces their transformation almost from their birth to the present day.

Book Description
Since its beginning as a ferry crossing in 1757, the city of Lynchburg has covered the hills that rise above the James River. A community that has managed to successfully blend its past with the best that the present has to offer, Lynchburg is truly the Heart of Virginia. Holding doctorates in history, authors Dorothy T. and Clifton W. Potter Jr. have spent their professional careers teaching at Lynchburg College.

Book Description
This presents the architectural development of one of Virginia's major cities, from its founding in 1786 to the present. More than 175 photographs and 150 drawings, prints, and early pictures illustrate the historic significance of this "city of seven hills." Major architectural styles are represented by structures designed by nationally prominent architects of the day, including Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Jason Davis, Ralph Adams Cram, and Vincent Kling. Influenced by their Quaker origins, early Lynchburg builders were conservative. It was not until the 1890s "boom" that more exuberant architecture gave the city a Victorian countenance. Eventually, Lynchburg could boast some of the most impressive residential enclaves in the state, with Tudor, Norman, and Spanish Revival houses. Predictably, the traditional Virginia Georgian proved to be the most popular of the period styles. -- From publisher's description.

Book Description
Lynchburg, Virginia, is not and has never been a typical Southern city. It grew and thrived not by commitment to agriculture, but manufacture. All the while, it retained its cultural identity as a Southern city, wedded to Southern “gentlemanliness” with all of its implications. Though a slow and conservative city, Lynchburg has developed a unique identity. It is a city with enormous vitality, great engagement, and large resiliency in large affairs or times of crisis (such as the Civil War, depressions and booms). Its resolve, measured and passionless, is essentially Stoical. More than the sum of its people-parts, it is a city with a soul. Beginning with the early history of Virginia, this book covers seriatim Lynchburg’s infrastructure (such as its canal and railroad systems), religious/educative legacy, economics, key moments, and other defining aspects (including newspapers, politics, medicine, and entertainment).

Book Description
Nestled within Tennessee's Central Basin, Moore County is the second smallest county in the state. Despite its size, it has brought fame to the area as the home of Jack Daniel and his distillery since 1866. By the time Moore County was created in 1871, Lynchburg was already well known. However, the story of Moore County goes well beyond Lynchburg. Images of America: Around Lynchburg shares the story of not only Mr. Jack but also the individuals and families who helped create the areas surrounding Lynchburg. This brief history is presented as an assemblage of photographs obtained from local residents, county archives and collections, and Jack Daniel's Distillery.
