An important 1918 edition of the medieval biography of Giles of Assisi, one of the original disciples of Saint Francis.
The account of 75 Years of St Giles, re-lives the drama of closed streets, limited travel and the polio deaths of the 1937 epidemic as well as delivering you to St Giles today. This book holds stories and pictures of many people who have crossed paths with St Giles. This community’s generous financial response to the powerful Examiner Newspaper headline of 1937: ``It Might Have Been Your Child’’ is as true today as then.
Giles, attempting to make a deal with a demon to protect vampire slayer Buffy Summers, is taken on trip to the past to relive again the trials and tribulations of eighteenth, nineteenth, and soon-to-be twentieth birthdays.
In 1946, at the age of 41, Janice Holt Giles wrote her first novel. Three years later, when her sixth novel appeared, Janice Holt Giles's works had accumulated sales of nearly two million copies. Between 1950 and 1975 she wrote twenty-four books, most of which were bestsellers, regularly reviewed in the New York Times, and selected for inclusion in popular book clubs.
Soon after Giles County was formed in 1806, George Pearis offered 53 acres, lumber, and stone to build the first courthouse. The building was constructed, and Pearisburg was established in 1808 at the geographic center of the county. The original courthouse was replaced in 1836 with the current brick structure that has been recently renovated and is still in use today. Giles County's story is one of water crossings and floods, agriculture, industrial development, railroads, tourism, and distinct communities isolated by the mountains and water. Natural resources, including mountains, springs, creeks, limestone cliffs, and 37 miles of the New River in Giles County, have shaped the settlement, industry, transportation, commerce, recreation, and tourism of the area. Photographs of life in each of these small communities depict the varied history of Giles County and those who have been drawn to this place.
