A Brief History Of The Baptists Of Louisa County, Virginia To 1865, Roscoe Ashburn Musselwhite
Master's Theses
This is a brief history of the Baptist of Louisa County, Virginia, to 1865. It would be impossible to gather all the impressions made on Virginia society and the American way of life by Louisa Baptists. The author of this paper has not always been a Baptist, but is a Baptist by conviction. Much of the tradition and color of the old days is still noticeable in the Louisa County Baptist Churches. Louisa County has been and ever shall be a better county in which to live because of Louisa Baptists.
