Scope & Content |
Newspaper clipping from 'The Southwest Corner' on finding information from historical papers and books in the Roanoke area. The article mainly focuses on Col. Andrew Lewis and the log house he built on Bent Mountain called 'Longwood.' The article additionally includes a small sketch of the Lewis family, including children, spouses, and other relations. Finding family papers is a difficult task, according to the author, and he attempts to locate Lewis family papers-many of which are still spread across the country. He has located family papers for several families in the Roanoke area, including Preston, Campbell, Floyd, Breckenridge, and others-many of which, at the the time of the article, are in the Library of Congress collection, the Wisconsin Historical Society, Duke University, University of Virgnia, Washington and Lee, etc. |
