Gordon Aronhime Papers--Southwest Virginia Card FileFrom The Library of Virginia - Digital Collection |
|
| Gordon Aronhime (1911-1983) was a historian, writer, and photographer who
resided in Bristol, Virginia. Aronhime's exhaustive research into the early history of
Southwest Virginia focused on the upper Holston-Clinch River area during the period
1770-1795. As part of his research he attempted to verify and/or locate mills, forts,
settlements, military events, place names, and Indian affairs. He wrote biographical
sketches of a number of prominent area settlers. There are also sketches on revolutionary
war soldiers and activities, the postal system, and Washington County tithable lists
(1782-1784). These three cards are from a partial list of those present at the Battle of King's Mountain (1780). Card 2 of 35
