  • Our Beautiful Mountain: a Brief Floyd County History
    Our Beautiful Mountain: A Brief Floyd County History While no single, comprehensive history has yet been written of Floyd County, several important accounts do exist. Attached to this brief history is a synopsis of the Town of Floyd Historic District Statement of Significance, which includes important details not included in this summary. These documents are intended to generally represent Floyd County, but unfortunately, information is not yet readily available for some segments of people, time and geography. Several efforts are currently underway to document Floyd County history; see”Works in Progress” at the end of this document. According to tradition, present day Floyd County was among the first areas explored when Virginia colonists began to push into the mountains of Virginia: Beginning with Jamestown in 1607, the Virginia colonists were first settled along the James River, but they seem not to have followed up that stream in their search for a passage through the mountains of the west. They were trying to locate a South Sea, and their expeditions generally followed up the Roanoke River to the South of the James. Their interest in exploring the interior of the continent began to manifest itself about 1645 and in the decades immediately following. About this time, Gen. Abraham Wood was placed in command of a fort and trading post at the falls of Appomattox River (near Petersburg) in eastern Virginia and began to develop a trade with western Indians. Tradition has it that Gen. Wood led the first party of Englishmen to enter what is now Floyd County. He is supposed to have crossed the Blue Ridge at Wood’s Gap, which bears his name to this day, and to have gone through the present Floyd County and down Little River to its junction with New River, a stream which bore his name, Wood’s River, for many years.

September 4, 2020 NIE.WASHINGTONPOST.COM ©2020 THE WASHINGTON POST VOLUME 20 ISSUE 1 An Integrated Curriculum of The Washington Post Newspaper In Education Program INTRODUCTION Permanent Change? In 2020 the three C’s became a way to express CDC cautionary messages — closed spaces, crowded places and close contact. Avoid these to stay safe. The mantra of wash your hands often, wear a mask and maintain six feet distance from others also expressed the changes in behavior that people around the globe needed to make to curb the spread of the coronavirus. At the same time other changes were taking place. With the round-trip journey of NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, the U.S. returned to launching shuttles. The Democrat and Republican national conventions were not held in convention centers. Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) was nominated as the Democratic vice presidential nominee. A convergence of events led to protests and civil rights rallies in American cities and across the globe. When video taken by a student showed a police officer refusing to remove his knee from George Floyd’s neck, resulting in Floyd’s death, people cried for justice and reform.

It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.
