... and live forever
By Mariwyn McClain Smith
“No one person could have written ... and live forever. No one person could have known the thousands of persons named, visited the hundreds of communities and related their histories first-hand. It took one hundred and fifty people, their parents, siblings, spouses and children, their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, their neighbors and friends to complete the stories found in this book.
“The history of virtually every nook and cranny of Tucker County is retold, by those who lived through the rise and fall of towns built on the riches of coal, railroads, and timber....”
McClain Printing Company, the original publisher of ...and live forever, is offering the opportunity to pre-order this historical treasure in paperback form, provided that MPC receives a minimum of 100 orders.
Originally published in 1974, this book contains 536 pages with over 130 photos and interviews from people living in Tucker County who had passed the beautiful age of 80. Among those interviewed were three sets of sisters, three sets of brothers, and a dozen couples. There are far too many surname entries to name them all, but among those mentioned are Arbogast, Ashby, Auvil, Bohon, Bright, Campbell, Carr, Colabrese, Cross, Davis, Dumire, Durr, Evans, Gatto, Griffith, Harper, Harsh, Hebb, Hedrick, Helmick, Holsberry, Humphrey, Irons, Johnson, Judy, Kerns, Knotts, Lipscomb, Long, Loughry, Luzier, Mauzy, Miller, Mitchell, Moore, Nestor, Ours, Parsons, Pennington, Phelps, Phillips, Ponikvar, Price, Raines, Rightmire, Shaffer, Simmons, Smith, Udovich, Watring, White, Wilfong, Wilson...
