Trail of the Powhatan Arrow

[NW Mailing List]

This book is more about the area through which The Powhatan Arrow passes  
(The Trail) than about the train itself.  Many statistics such as on page  167: 
"In March of 1958 Mayor" (of Kermit) "Roy Dempsey announced that due to the  
number of reports of rabid dogs running at large in the area, all dogs were  
ordered to be tied up at once."  
But there are a FEW good nuggets as on page 114: "In 1938 the N & W  
celebrated its 100th. birthday.  The first small company that would later  become the 
N & W, had been a ten mile railroad  named the City Point  Railroad which had 
operated between City Point, VA and Petersburg.   It was opened to traffic 
September 7, 1838."
Despite my autographed copy in which both authors offer me "Best wishes"  had 
I known the content I would probably NOT have purchased a copy of this  book.
 
That's just my opinion.  Others may differ.

I noticed this book listed in the latest mailing  of the Arrow.  Can anyone 
provide a better description of just what this  book is about? The author? 
Publisher?
 
Many thanks.
