A Town by the Name of Salem
The Past in Pictures
by John D. Long and Mary Crockett Hill
When Salem was founded two centuries ago in a lush Virginia valley cut through by the Great Wagon Road, few suspected the thriving city she would become. While this growth was shared by communities throughout the region, Salem’s story is very much her own. It is her people and memories that fill the pages of this book—her sons and daughters whose eyes meet yours in these photographs. A Town by the Name of Salem pays tribute to 200 years of life and legend in a vibrant southern town.
