LONG AGO BUT NOT FAR AWAY- THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF OUR SOUTHERN PENINSULA
From a 1951 feature article in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. The author, Leonora W. Wood, (1892-1989) wrote articles of regional historic interest for Virginia newspapers and authored "Guide To Virginia's Eastern Shore" in 1952. She was an inspiration for the novel "Christy" written by her daughter Catherine Marshall, a well-known author. Mrs. Wood's husband was a minister who had served Holmes Presbyterian Church in Cheriton.
