Praise for In Their Own Words"Waldron and Huntington have caught the rail of the past as it slips out of memory. Here they are, thefarmers, doctors, storekeepers, the men and women who were Loudoun County before it traded its lanesfields, cows, and orchards for SUVs and instant mansions. They remember it in their own words, andWaldron's spare and chiseled interviews ring in the mind. In Huntington's portraits, they look as plantedand permanent as Mount Rushmore, but they aren't, of course. In a sense they're already gone, and thisquietly disturbing book is what we have left."Barbara Holland"This is a gem, a marvel of its kind, the collected memories and anecdotes of Loudoun's most venerableold-timers. Their stories and faces reveal lives fully-lived and crows feet well-earned; all of them capturedhere in the innocence of their nostalgia by portrait photographer Sarah Huntington and writer-editor GaleWaldron."John Rolfe Gardiner"In Their Own Words possesses the intimate distance of a Civil War ambrotype. Skunk-skinners, moonshinersmilk trains, corncob fires, and five-cent kids come alive on the page. A lament for a Loudoun lostwithin living memory, here beautifully regained."Tony Horwitz
