Dr. Clarence Geier, Professor Emeritus of James Madison University, gave an engaging presentation on the early history of Stokesville on May 23, 2018, in Bridgewater.  Dr. Geier has given Friends of Shenandoah Mountain permission to share his presentation with those who were unable to attend.

Many thanks to Dr. Geier for presenting research that he, Dr. Carole Nash, and Dr. Skip Hyser did this boom town at the base of Shenandoah Mountain.  It's a fascinating story!

Dr. Geier and Dr. Nash are writing a book on Stokesville that will be published by the Archaeological Society of  Virginia with the permission of the U.S. Forest Service.
