EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scenic beauty and industrial might of Thurmond, West Virginia, USA, circa 1906. Nestled in the heart of Fayette County, this historic town sits at the confluence of the New and Greenbrier Rivers. The New River, a natural wonder that flows through the Appalachian Mountains, is seen here in all its splendor, its crystal-clear waters shimmering under the sun. The photograph showcases the general view of Thurmond, looking east, with the New River winding its way through the landscape. The town, once a bustling hub of industry, is dominated by the imposing iron bridge that spans the river. This bridge, a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess, connected the town to the outside world and facilitated the transportation of coal and other resources. The image transports us back to the early 1900s, a time when the region was at the forefront of America's industrial revolution. Thurmond was a thriving coal mining town, and its strategic location on the New River made it an essential stop for the transportation of resources. The town's prosperity is evident in the well-maintained buildings and the bustling activity seen in this photograph. Despite the passage of time, Thurmond remains an intriguing and picturesque destination. Visitors can still explore the remnants of the town's rich industrial heritage, while also enjoying the breathtaking natural beauty of the New River and the surrounding mountains. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, and a testament to the enduring allure of this unique corner of America.
