Page 241 - The Flora Journal-Record 1920s - The Flora Building Boom, more than 100 new houses two years. Record since securing international shoe factory. Milestones in the life of a town or city occur similar to those in the individual lives of the people. The Flora of a quarter century age is so unlike the city of today as to cause comment from those who knew the "old town" in its earlier period.

We have taken the time and effort to collect some statistics on material growth of Flora and find that most of the excellent modern buildings are creatures since 1903. 

From 1903 to 1922 we have listed the following new business or other buildings:

• Carnegie Library 1903
• Ebner Ice & Cold Storage 1903
• City Hall 1904
• Two ward school buildings 1906
• High school 1912
• M.E. Church 1914
• B&O station 1916-17

Book Purge - The Story of Winchester in Virginia

Morton, Frederic. The Story of Winchester in Virginia: The Oldest Town in the Shenandoah Valley, Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, Inc., 2001.  First published in 1925.

p. 22 The business quarter of Winchester lies in the basin of the little stream known as Town Run. It is therefore depressed, but the gradual improvement of the streets and lots has made it almost level throughout. In every direction is slightly rising ground; For Hill in the north, Church Hill in the east, Potato Hill in the south and Academy Hil and Powell's Ridge in the west. But these elevations are gentle in ascent, and are broadtopped belts of tableland rather than tre hills. Even the tower of the Handley schol does not rise high enough to permit a quite satisfactory examination of the field of view. . . . 

Running twenty miles southward, a little more than twenty miles northward, and a similar distance east and west, lies the Lower Shenandoah Valley, as distinguished from the Middle Valley between Strasburg and Harrisonburg.  To speak accurately, it is not a true valley, but a long and relatively narrow plain, separated by the narrow rampart of the Blue Ridge from the plain of Piedmont Virginia. The watercourses around Winchester are not tributaries of the Shenandoah, bu turn directly to the Potomac.

[Shenandoah River flows from southwest to northeast entering the Potomac River at Harper's Ferry, WV.  The "upper river" is in the south, the "lower river" is in the north.]

Notebooks - Kentucky #7

Brookes-Smith Joan. Index for Old Kentucky Surveys & Grants, no imprint, ca. 1974

It was on 16 June, 1774, when James Harrod and his party of pioneer settlers reached the plateau between the Salt and Kentucky Rivers in the heart of a land that would one day be called Kentucky. Physically exhausted from their long trip down the Ohio and up the Kentucky River and fearful of the ever present danger from roving bands of Indians, they gave no thought to the restless discontent of their counterparts who lived along the Eastern seaboard. Uppermost in their minds was survival.

Acutely aware that they had penetrated deep within enemy territory, they immediately set about laying out Harrod's Town. . . . 

They were followed shortly by Daniel Boone, Benjamin Logan, John Floyd, Simon Kenton and numerous other pioneer leaders. Their greatest enemy, or so they believed was the Indian. They could not have known that Fate was already laying the groundwork that would lead the Eastern seaboard revolutionary and the Western pioneer to a common goal, a goal to establish a permanent home which was destined to erupt into a long and vicious legal war. 

Unfortunately, many of the earliest settlers believing that just to settle the land was all that was necessary for ownership delayed too long the registration of their surveys and claims. Apparently
