By all accounts Norris'
History
is the finest work on the lower Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia
ever written.
In common with the best county and regional histories, Norris' treatment of the Shenandoah Valley counties
of Frederick, Berkeley, Jefferson, and Clarke begins with an examination of the early explorations and settlements
in the area, describes the outstanding topographical and geographical features, and then goes on to give an account
of the settlement and organization of the various towns, villages, and cities of the region, their respective
institutions, their settlers and early residents, their participation in the various wars, and notable events in
their history.
The final third of the work, a full 250 pages, contains genealogies of hundreds of Valley families and biographical
sketches of notable and representative figures.
