Route 58 stretches across all five hundred miles of Virginia, from the
sandy shores of the Atlantic to the waterfalls and wild ponies of the
Blue Ridge Highlands. Weird, quirky and intriguing legends and lore lie
along this historic highway, including a UFO landing in South Hill,
Virginia Beach's witch duck controversy of 1706 and Nat Turner's bloody
insurrection in 1831. Country music icon Johnny Cash played his final
shows at the world-famous Carter Fold. Civil War skirmishes touched
towns. The Wreck of the Old 97 happened in Danville, and haunting
memories of a schoolhouse lost to a tornado remain in Rye Cove. Author
Joe Tennis provides a guide to Route 58 with a trail of tales,
accompanied by easy driving directions and vivid photography.
