Additional content reportedly includes early-settler lists, information from the 1850 Giles and Montgomery County censuses, Revolutionary War soldiers and regional historical traditions.

The author, Henry E. Albert, was a Montgomery County, Virginia native and descendant of early New River pioneers. A retired Air Force colonel, decorated veteran and historical writer, Albert served during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

The volume is dedicated to Jacob A. Albert Sr., who served in the Continental Army under General George Washington and survived the winter of 1777–78 at Valley Forge.

An uncommon and useful reference for genealogists, descendants of New River Valley families, Virginia historians and collectors of privately published Appalachian history.
