Take a peaceful stroll down memory lane, cross the old covered bridge, smell the new mown hay, and check the corn in the slatted crib. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains will take you to a kinder, gentler time.

Camelia McNeil Elliott takes her breath-taking quilts of country buildings, marries them with photographs, and blesses them with chapters of written history about her beloved Blue Ridge Mountains and the people who call it home. Anyone with an interest in history, Virginia, the mountains, or just home-spun stories should take a gander at this work. The experience leaves you mentally wrapped up in one of Camelia’s homemade quilts in a warm living room munching on a hoecake and sipping on cider.

Every summer, the author spent a month with her beloved grandparents in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. While visiting Mabry Mill’s rotating waterwheel, Elliott imagined Lizzie Mabry grinding white corn for customers in 1908. Inspired, she wrote stories about Appalachian mountaineers and her family, such as her great-great grandmother’s incarceration in a corn crib by Civil War soldiers, her grandparent’s 1917 elopement in a horse drawn carriage during a treacherous mountain ice storm, and her father’s jail house shenanigans at the Floyd County Courthouse. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains tells captivating and intriguing stories of Virginia history, culture, traditions, and everyday living common to all mountain families.
