This Activity Book opens additional paths of understanding to adults and young learners. It accompanies the series of books in which Tobias weaves the story of his ancestors with the historical facts associated with the growth of this frontier region. Whenever you see Tobias holding his monocle, this indicates a place where a discussion between a young learner and an adult may be appropriate.

The ancestors of Tobias lived in a world very different from ours today. When the early settlers arrived in this part of Western Virginia, they found that the Native Americans were living in a land that was densely forested and mountainous. Rivers, streams and footpaths provided access into this western frontier. Isolated settlements began to form along with those of the natives and gradually towns would begin to flourish. The map on the following page shows where the settlers had gathered by 1776 and also indicates the location where a place called Morgan’s Town would be established in 1785.
