Excerpt from In the Virginias: Stories and Sketches Three died a few years ago, in one of the extreme eastern counties of West Virginia, a gentleman whom I shall call, for the purposes of this tale, Henry Fairfax. I am sure he would have been pleased with the name Fairfax himself, because of its intimate association with so many things Virginian. His home was but a short distance from the site of Lord Thomas Fairfax's historic "Greenway Court, " where the haughty old English lord had his horses and his hounds and the finest estates in Virginia, and, like that old Lord Fairfax, Baron of Cameron, he, too, lived to a great age, as proud as Lucifer and the soul of all things honorable. And so I have called him a Fairfax. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
