Kool, thanks for posting.
That’s very interesting.
PING!....................
What a brilliant job of historical preservation and organization of the articles he and his wife discovered!
How cool! Since he went to the trouble and cost to undercover the treasure, I’m sure it will be preserved. What a find!
Sadly, we live in a zero trust environment, and can’t trust anything, at any time, from anyone, anymore, especially if published in the Daily Mail. While impressive, this story is too on the nose, and may be a work of art. This could all be a master craftsman’s version of: flip this house!
Great article....a very interesting read! Thank you for posting!
“Cornstalk’s Raid on the Greenbrier - 1763”
The curse of Cornstalk needs to be noted.

Cool!
Wow...can’t even imagine...
Well I’m envious!
My neighbor found a log cabin under his plaster. After a winter’s heating bill, he plastered the walls back up!
Very interesting article and pics. I usually find my old nails by driving over them.
Totally fascinating
Amazing and beautiful. My brother bought an old log cabin that had been disassembled. He is rebuilding it in Colorado, the logs look just the same.
This is fantastic!
As a family historian, I wish I had that kind of luck.
What a great story.
I have a friend who worked as a printer. A few years ago, an old lady and her driver came to the print shop. They had a box of papers stacked in order that she wanted bound into a book.
As my friend was collating everything, he called and asked if he could make a copy for himself. He also made me a copy.
The book was a compendium of family records and letters dating back to pre-revolutionary days. The family was in Georgetown, which is now part of Washington DC. Some of the stories detailed friendships with the Washington’s, Madisons’s and just about every other founding family and then into Civil War times.
It’s just another great reminder of just how young our Republic actually is.
Monroe is a big county. We live the county next to it.
Holy cow. What a piece of history.
