The storied Valley of Virginia (also known as the Appalachian Valley) is bounded by the Blue Ridge on the east and, for most of its length, by the West Virginia border on the west.

The work also describes life on the frontier, especially housing, furniture, and diet; the establishment of towns like Strasburg, Staunton, Romney, Harper's Ferry, and Morgantown; the inception of religious denominations, topography, and natural landmarks; and medicinal springs and other remedies. Incorporated into A History of the Valley of Virginia is an early edition of Notes on the Settlement and Indian Wars of the Western Parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania 1763-1783]..., by the Reverend Dr. Joseph Doddridge, which covers similar terrain.

This book was originally written in 1833 and has been republished several times. The writer personally knew many of the people and events cited in this and other history books. The first-person narrative contributes to the value of the "inside scoop". I especially enjoyed reading about the every day lives of our early frontier pioneer ancestors.
