Filled with local stories and anecdotes and containing an impressive range of photographs-from snapshots of veterans of the War Between the States to high school class pictures from the 1950s; from early images of the resort area to photographs documenting recent changes to Louisa-this new book will earn a lasting place on area bookshelves and will be handed down from generation to generation for years to come. Louisa and Louisa County will be enjoyed by older folk as a trip down memory lane, and appreciated by younger generations as a glimpse of an era when life was harder, but perhaps simpler. Also a valuable source of information for newcomers to the area, this powerful work serves to remind us of the importance of understanding our past and preserving our heritage in our march toward the twenty-first century"--Back cover

Louisa County, Virginia

A Brief History

By: Pattie Gordon Pavlansky Cooke

Set amidst lush, rolling hills, Louisa County was once home to religious dissenters, emancipationists and some of Virginias first families. Its epicenter was Louisa Courthouse, where all the countys residents managed their business affairs. From Patrick Henrys seminal speech for Louisa against tyranny, to a county chief justice too fat to ride horseback, Louisa has a rich and fascinating heritage. Historian and longtime Louisa County resident Pattie G.P. Cooke chronicles the countys coming of age as part of the new United States of America, retaining its small, tightly knit communities while embracing inevitable progress.
