Crimora Branch

[NW Mailing List]

For anyone interested in a good scientific and business treatment of the
various mines and quarries located along early Virginia railroads, I
recommend the 800+ page work titled Minerals of Virginia, by Thomas Leonard
Watson, Ph.D., of the University of Virginia (Lynchburg: J P Bell & Co.,
1907.)  It is copiously indexed and easy to use.

I have put the entire work  (30 megs) up in PDF format on Dropbox.  Click
this link to get it:

Also, I have prepared an 8 page abstract dealing with  Augusta County only
and containing two photographs of the Crimora manganese operations.  You
may get this abstract at:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8lbcpzkp1vcnpn/CRIMORA%20-%20an%20abstract%20from_MINERAL%20RESOURCES%20OF%20VIRGINIA_1907.pdf

And, while we're at it, wasn't the J.P. Bell printery in Lynchburg somehow
related to Stone Printing in Roanoke...?
