Life and Times of Ann Bailey: Pioneer Heroine of the Great Kanawha Valley
From Lewisburg to Charleston and Point Pleasant, Ann Bailey was the embodiment of pioneer spirit: clad in buckskin leggins with a rifle slung over her shoulder, a woman who lived larger than life. Her daring solo horseback ride across the Midland Trail in 1791 to save Fort Clendenin (Charleston) from siege is just one of the exploits covered in this text. Author Virgil Lewis was able to interview people who knew Bailey, making this the most accurate of the Bailey biographies. Back in print after more than a century, with new index, a map, and supplemental photographs. 86 pages.
