New publication from Clinch Mountain Press!
The Extraordinary Life of William Alexander Stuart is a testament to the determination of one man to succeed during a very challenging time in our country’s history. This heavily researched and illustrated book, written by his great-great-grandson, John White Stuart, III, lays out Alex’s life in precise detail, following his journey from birth in 1826 on a Patrick County farm through school and various lines of work including court clerk, bank manager, and partner in the operation of lucrative saltworks in Saltville, Virginia, during the Civil War.
Alex and his wife and children finally settled in Russell County and by 1884, he had acquired farmland in four counties to create Stuart Land & Cattle Company, which is still known today throughout Southwest Virginia as a premier livestock operation. He also invested in hotels, including White Sulphur Springs in Greenbrier, West Virginia. In addition, he provided financial and moral support to several family members including the widow of his brother, J.E.B. Stuart, who died in the Civil War.
Despite many challenges during this turbulent time, Alex achieved remarkable success. According to the author, “Like the heroine of Gone with the Wind, Alex triumphed in the aftermath of the ruin of the South, foreshadowing its advances, however imperfect they continue to be.”
