Chronicles of Early Huntington, 1871-1896 by Robert L. Archer
A note from Archer about this item:
These Chronicles are intended to cover only the first twenty-five years, 1871-1896. Occasionally reference is made to happenings in the subsequent period, but only as incident to the context. The City of Huntington (WV) is now almost seventy-five years old, and in time it is probable that some other writer will cover the subsequent period.
