2. Thanks for your reply & well said. The natural beauty of the state

was wondrous to me as well when visiting due to family ties. The brilliant beauty of autumn, the wildflowers everywhere, parks and nature trails, horseback riding near the Greenbriar River and meeting warm, nice people.

I've followed WV's rich, interesting history at Harper's Ferry with the abolitionist John Brown; the early 20th c. Mine Wars for labor rights with determined workers and advocates like Mother Jones who supported them; the Native American culture at Moundsville, Chief Logan and Princess Aracoma; Carter G. Woodson, the 'Father of Black History' who attended college at West Virginia State, Dr. Henry Louis Gates the historian, and more.
