Sweet home West Virginia!

This is a collection of stories Steelhammer wrote in his newspaper column for the Charleston Newspapers, focusing upon famous events that occurred in West Virginia. He begins with the story of early exploration on the New River by Batts and Fallom, George Washington's interest in the western frontier of Virginia to a historical boat ride on the Potomac--James Rumsey's steamboat to Georgann Wells' famous slam dunk in Lady Mountaineers' basketball to a bank heist in Kermit. He spans the state's history from the early 1700s through the present and focuses on events that occurred in every section of the Mountain State.
Short, factual stories; easy-to-read; lots to remember and to learn. I liked the book.
