MARSHALL COUNTY, WV - HISTORY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Second EditionBy Joseph D. Parriott.
Moundsville author, Joseph D. Parriott, has published a second edition of Marshall County, West Virginia - History of the Twentieth Century. Like the first edition, this book is of great importance because little else has been published that describes the changes affecting most aspects of daily life in Marshall County in the last century.
In his new book, Mr. Parriott writes about early communities, farm life, religion, health, transportation, business, communications, natural resources, crime & punishment - and more.
According to Mr. Parriott: "The purpose of the book is to leave younger and future generations a glimpse of how life was lived in Marshall County one hundred years ago, and to be thankful for the changes that have transpired. We should be grateful to have a government that rewards hard work, innovators, and entrepreneurs, for it is they who have brought about the dramatic improvements in our lives."
Mr. Parriott has spent countless hours piecing together the history from original sources, such as courthouse records and old newspapers on microfilm at the library. His research is meticulous and he is able to organize and present it in an accurate historical context. He personalizes his books by including anecdotes based on his own experiences and his knowledge of the community and events.
