The book explores that bustling bygone era, including the Civil War years, which brought an end to the town’s industrial age. Moreover, the book portrays the present-day town and the area’s scenic attractions, including the rivers and the Appalachian Trail, which passes through the park. Jim Kirby has won nine Virginia Press Association awards for excellence in photography. He is a former photographer for the Reston Times and the Fairfax Journal and currently shoots advertising and editorial assignments for magazines, advertising agencies, and corporations.
