C. Shirley Donnelly and journalist Jim Wood as models, this collection of articles on Raleigh County is like a series of conversations, history stories told among friends and family to pass along to subsequent generations. Using nearly a hundred sources from genealogical studies to old newspaper articles, Fresh History Brewed Daily: Raleigh County (WV) People, Places, Happenings 1750 - Present covers over 250 years of local heritage, from the earliest frontier families and the still-present divisions caused by the Civil War to immigrant coal miners and airplane crashes.

If you are from the area, you are sure to find something still recognizable today.
