The HISTORY of LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA1786-1946
By Philip Lightfoot Scruggs
The author, a native of Lynchburg has written a rather comprehensive review of the City. As Editorial Director of
The News
and of
The Daily Advance
he stressed the need for newspapermen to have more than a casual knowledge of history and believes Lynchburg to have as interesting and individualistic a history as any American city, inclusive of meriting the statement that "This, too, is Jefferson country. Not only because of his retreat, Poplar Forest, being nearby, but because of Jefferson's many close contacts with the Lynchburg of his time." Published by J.P. Bell of Lynchburg.
