On my supposed isolationist “hillbilly” roots: the Nicholson family in Madison County, Va., part 1
Last weekend, I brought out one of the family bibles in my collection, so that my two youngest could see some of the “artifacts” that have been maintained, safely inside, for more than a century. In particular, I wanted to show them these items… … a death poem, a “cypher”/multiplication table, and a lock of […]
