KEY CAMP #1920 KANSAS DIVISION, SCV • JOHNSON COUNTY, KANSAS VOL. 18, NO. 10 October 2017 The Commander’s Corner Thomas J. Key Camp Commander, Jim Thornton Should you take a vacation or road trip through Virginia and are anywhere near Lexington, Virginia, I would like to suggest a tourist attraction that should not be missed or skipped over. This is the Stonewall Jackson House. My wife and I recently took a lengthy vacation and drive through Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia as we made our way to visit my wife’s brother and his family. One of our goals was to drive the entire 106 mile length of Skyline Drive through the Shenandoah Valley and National Park. On our way, our Google Trip Advisor suggested the Stonewall Jackson House in Lexington, Virginia. Wow, was it worth the time. I received quite an education on the man. While we are all very familiar with his life, accomplishments, and tragic death during the war, how many of us really know the man behind the soldier? At this historic site, special emphasis is placed upon Jackson's life as a professor, church leader, businessman, husband, and community leader during the decade that he lived in Lexington and taught at Virginia Military Institute before the War for Southern Independence. The house, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is furnished with period pieces, including many of Jackson's personal possessions, and is open to the public for guided tours of the period rooms.

We were born there. Smith: O.K. Now you said you could tell how the Caves got there. Mr. Cave: Well you take back before the Civil War, a good bit before, Jimmy Cave was put here what they call Fishers Gap, some of them do and some of them call it Milams GapJ he was put there to watch the toll gate, across the Gordonsville Turnpike. He was a single man when he came there. He had a cabin right there where the Skyline Drive goes through now, and where this road crosses. And later on he married, I don't know what date it was, but it was far enough back that he raised a son, his oldest son, that was in the Civil War between the states.

  • Conflicting Narratives in the Relocation of Shenandoah Families.” the Virginia Tech Undergraduate Historical Review 9, No
    Harvey, Caroline. “The Mountain People and the Washington Post: Conflicting Narratives in the Relocation of Shenandoah Families.” The Virginia Tech Undergraduate Historical Review 9, no. 1 (2020): pp. 9–16. RESEARCH The Mountain People and the Washington Post: Conflicting Narratives in the Relocation of Shenandoah Families Caroline Harvey Virginia Tech, US [email protected] Congress authorized the creation of a conservation area in the Shenandoah Valley on May 22, 1926, and that same year the secretary of the interior declared that residents in the region had to leave the new Shenandoah National Park. This essay examines competing perceptions of the relocation of those residents, known as mountain people, in the creation of Shenandoah National Park by comparing the narratives of the Washington Post and the families who were forced to relocate. The editors and writers of the Post characterized the region as isolated, underprivileged, and in need of outside help and federal programs to build habitable homes. However, this discourse reflected trends of modernization within American society at large that differed from mountain people’s vision of their own life; the ideals of “modern” life were reflected in the Post’s discourse about mountain people, who the Post thought represented the antithesis of “modern” life. This narrative of a “modernizing” America versus an “outmoded” mountain way of life serves as important historical context for this conflict. This belief allowed Post writers to tell a narrative that belittled and disregarded the region’s inhabitants as they were removed from the park area. By contrast, relocated mountain people did not think of themselves in that way.
