School and Community History
of Dickenson County, Virginia

Edited by Dennis Reedy

This work is a compilation of articles written by teachers during the 1920s and 1930s. In addition to histories of early schools and community origins, the book contains a wealth of other information—from stories of Indians, hunting, and the Civil War, to life and customs of the pioneers in general. The names of many of Dickenson’s early residents also found their way into the book, either as early settlers in one of the communities or as teacher, student, or patron of one of the many one- and two-room schools.
Originally published by Mountain People and Places, the historical preservation group of Dickenson County, it is believed this text includes the most history of the county ever published in one volume. Some 150 photographs, most depicting the old schools, are also contained in the book.
