Probably the most voluminous of all the West Virginia county histories is THE MONONGALIA STORY. The first volume (subtitled Prelude) contains a general description of the county, including its geology, flora, fauna, & an account of the aborigines, followed by a record of more than 1,000 early settlers. Volume II (The Pioneers) presents the history from the establishment of the county, in 1776, up to 1826.
