About
For 65 years, travelers in West Virginia have enjoyed the inscriptions found on hundreds of historical markers along the state's highways and byways. Now, the information from all these markers is available in one handy volume. With complete inscriptions arranged geographically by county, more than 100 historic photographs, and a brief history of West Virginia's marker program, this book is the most comprehensive collection to date of these popular reminders of the Mountain State's rich past.--From publisher description.
