...its pleasures and attractiveness are hard to describe to folk who have never been there. Beartown Mountain etal.

There's at least 250 years of "modern" history buried in those mountains. Much more with a bit of perspective.

" On January 2, 1786, Russell County was established from a section of Washington County. L.P. Summers, a Washington County historian later wrote, "Washington County lost a great extent of country and many valuable citizens when Russell County was formed." The county was named for Culpeper County native Colonel William Russell.[3] The first court met in May 1786 in the Castle's Woods settlement (present-day Castlewood) in the house of William Robinson. Later, a new place was built to house the County Seat. The structure used as a courthouse still stands, and is referred to as "The Old Courthouse." The present Courthouse, located in Lebanon, has been in use since 1874.

The County has been home for many well known persons such as Daniel Boone, Governor H.C. Stuart, State Representative Boyd C. Fugate and State Senator M.M. Long. Russell County was also the birthplace of other counties. The counties of Wise, Lee, Tazewell, and Scott were formed from parts of Russell County.

The largest cattle farm East of the Mississippi River is headquartered at Rosedale in Russell County.

Once again, thanks for your kudos.

You're all hat and no cattle, houtex. Once again, you prove how little you know.
Mormons own the largest cattle ranch ( it's not a farm) in the United States.. It's located in Florida and ranges about 295,000 acres.

Are you questioning the accuracy of information which Kotex plagiarized from Wikipedia (where...to quote Michael Scott: "anyone can add/delete stuff, so you know you're getting good information")

That's kind of ironic considering that every Mormon I've met is a vegetarian/vegan.

In defense of HT Stuart Land and Cattle Company based out of Rosedale, VA is no longer the largest "ranch" east of the Mississippi but interestingly enough it is one of the oldest "corporations" not only in the US but the world.

Useless trivia of the day.

Really

In contrast I've never met a vegetarian/vegan Mormon...must be the difference between LDS members from AZ and UT and east coast members.

I actually looked it up after posting - it's not a requirement, but apparently there are lots of Mormons who are.

I know a bunch and not a vegan among them. Quite the carnivores actually.

Well I'm happy to be corrected on this point. Being leaf-eaters was always my #1 reservation about mormons. I should have known since they're not all pale and sickly looking as most vegetarians/vegans are.

Let's not get crazy - most are pale!

A lot of Mormons are vegan. If you read the book "Blue Zones", it discusses Loma Linda, Cali as a Blue Zone, and it says a lot of the population is vegan/vegetarian Mormons.

I am about to start traveling a lot to Salt Lake City for work. I don't drink anymore either, so maybe I will actually fit in.

Sister wife anyone?
