The highland forests of southwestern Virginia were a sacred land to Native Americans. After European contact, this beautiful country drew successive waves of settlers and visitors, and for a brief, intense period, industrialists exploited its timber resources. This is the story of how various peoples have regarded this land and how, starting in the early twentieth century, the federal government acquired 700,000 acres of it to create what is now the Jefferson National Forest.
