In Rockbridge County Artists & Artisans, Barbara Crawford and Royster Lyle, Jr., trace the development of many artisans' activities in Rockbridge County - in fine arts, textiles, furniture, tall clocks, rifles, ironwork, and pottery - from 1750 through the post Civil War years. Some of the artifacts documented were created by renowned American artists such as Frederic Church and Edward Hicks; most were produced by the county's Scotch-Irish or German immigrants and their descendants. The result of more than a decade of research, Rockbridge County Artists & Artisans provides fascinating stories and new information on how the arts and everyday crafts flourished in this picturesque region. An especially valuable chapter profiles four hundred artists and artisans, whose work is described in brief biographies. As the detailed study of a single county, the book serves as a model for localities in understanding and preserving their past.

How Can They Say There is No God, When the Evidence is So ClearBy: Barbara CrawfordThe author began journaling in 1985, maybe even earlier. She looked through her house, in closets and under the nightstand, discovering eight journals. She knew that discovery was of God. When she began reading the journals, she was in awe of how God was always there... and still is. How Can They Say There is No God, When the Evidence is so Clear is a journey through those miraculous journal entries and the author's life - its ups and downs, its successes and failures, its joy and heartbreak. Through it all, God was there.About the AuthorBarbara Crawford comes from a military family.
