The book covers the half-century after the Civil War when Loudoun County, was Virginia\u2019s agricultural leader, with heavy plantings of corn and wheat.

Included are vignettes from laborer\u2019s songs from slave times; 1870s reminiscences from an oldest living Loudouner, 104-year-old Allin Tibbs, an African-American farm laborer; stories of the 1889 \u2018Johnstown Flood;’ the years of farming parity in the early 1900s; the World War I farm scene; and the bootlegging years that followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation will be held at St. James United Church of Christ, 10 East Broad Way, in Lovettsville. The program will be followed, as is customary, by questions and discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
