Confederate West Virginia has always been an enigma. A bright fellow
riding through Monroe County was intrigued by the Confederate monument
in a field near Union. This biker-hiker-writer Michael Abraham wondered
why. For clues, he went straight to local historians ‘Bud’ Robertson and
Stuart McGeehee. In his thoughtful book, The Spine of the Virginias
(2010, Pocahontas Press; Blacksburg, Virginia) he lets these experts
tell a harrowing tale of why West Virginia will probably always fly
Confederate flags.
