New Glasgow
The Rise and Fall oF an anTebellum ViRginia Village
BY JOE STINNETT
In the 1740s, white men began moving to the lands along the waters that flowed into the James River near the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. They brought with them enslaved Africans and established communities based on land, slaves, and tobacco. The system ebbed and flowed like the river
until the Civil War. This is the story of one of those communities, New Glasgow.
