These journals are a treasure trove, well worth the reading even if you aren't related to the Persinger and Craft families of Va. If you are related, then they are invaluable.

If you have any connection to Alleghany, Botetourt, Craig, or Amherst Co in Va, you'll appreciate these journals.

Also, if you are black, white, Native American, especially Cherokee, or mulatto, then I believe you'll appreciate these journals, no matter where you live.

Hope you will read and enjoy as much as I have!
