"Bluefield" is a great collection of many photos of the Bluefield, WV area covering many years. The price is a little steep for a paperback book, but this is a must for anyone interested in Bluefield.

I love this series of books and this is the 4th one we own. Great book with lots of interesting pictures of all the wonderful places we know and knew here in Bluefield, I love how in depth some of the captions are.

.....and has created a treasure. The first time I ever met Bill, he helped me find an old, out of use, cemetery so I could look for my Confederate great-grandfather's grave. Effort for a stranger. I grew up in Bluefield, WV [born in 1947]; you would barely recognize it today...downtown is a shell of its former self. But, once upon a time, it was different. Far different.

This wonderful work goes back to way before I was born; still, many of the people and places touch my own memory. Dr. John Nash, is, naturally, represented. [Him, I have never met].

The book and photo reproductions are of first rate quality. So are the stories, with proper homage to the late, great, Eddie Steele, several of whose photos are used. This is a real journey in a time machine. If you happen to buy your copy there, take it to the "Daily Telegraph" office on Bluefield Ave., and Bill will sign it for you. He is a great guy, and a treasure house of local legend.
