Description of "Gone Raven," By: Colonel Charles Dahnmon Whitt This book contains 191 pages and is a collection of pictures, data, and home spun stories about growing up in the little coal town of Raven, Virginia. Raven is a part of southwest Virginia and in the Clinch River Valley. You will see how these hardy folks lived during the nineteen forties through the nineteen sixties.

You will see their honesty, their belief in God, their hard work habits, and their loyalty to their country and neighbors. This book is seen through the eyes of the author and his experiences growing up in Raven Virginia. This book takes you back to another time and I think another world. I use the term, "Gone Raven," as an example of the enthusiasm, adventure, and life of growing up in Raven, Virginia.
