Brocks Gap is the name given to 200 square miles in Rockingham County, Virginia, that were created by the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. As early as the 1740s, German-speaking settlers were attracted to the area by abundant water, plentiful wood, fertile river bottoms, and great hunting. Many of the first settlers stayed for generations, tucked into the security of the mountains. Families were self-sufficient, growing their own food, gathering wild berries and nuts for their own use, and selling the surplus. Stories and traditional ways of life have been passed down through generations, making Brocks Gap a distinct area of culture. Today, many families of the early settlers still live in their home community. Through over 200 photographs, this history takes readers through the remarkable past of Brocks Gap and its people.
Written in a visual style, the Last Valley is a story for those who cling to the belief that people, at their core, are much more than just consumers, that there are higher ideals to embrace other than acquisition of trinkets and the expansion of our self-important empires. Through the passions and actions of its characters, The Last Valley explores the concept that our accepted economic paradigm may be leading us all to ruin. If you are a person who has seen just about enough of our natural world remade into man's image of strip malls, concrete and traffic jams, and who yearn for a more meaningful and simpler lifestyle, then this book is for you. When their wilderness valley becomes the target of an unscrupulous multinational timber corporation, the misfit residents of the Firesteel Valley turn to one of their own, Logan Turner, to help them win the day. But a violent confrontation with a despotic logging contractor prompts Logan on a journey to discover the truth about a woman who mysteriously disappeared from his life without a trace. His quest for love takes him away from one conflict and straight into another, as he is pursued by brutal assassins who close the trap in Denver.
