The articles in this series have been taken from a 1964 journal published by the Greenbrier Historical Society and appear here as it is written in the journal. This Journal was written and compiled by Kenneth D. Swope and his wife Frances Alderson Swope with the assistance of many, many people. All information and events are relatively up to date through December 1964.

The Greenbrier Historical Society assures the reader this history contains errors. Those of commission have been made through ignorance or incorrect information. Errors of omission are for the same reasons, of lack of space or time or materials for research.

The Aldersonian wishes to thank Jim Talbert and the G. H. S. for their permission  to use the material.

Any additional information please send to "Comments GHS" and they will be linked to the article.
