Abstract:
Walk With Me is the history of Mathews County and its growth, one community at the time. The book covers available statistics, pictures and humorous tales, told by older residents. The general merchandise store furnished residents with needs that they couldn’t raise on their land or harvest from the Bay. Each community needed a post office that usually sat in one corner of the country store. The author walked two miles to and from school, met the steamboat, worked on the family farm and shopped from local stores and catalogs. It could be the tale of any rural county on the east coast.
