Description
History will come alive with the help of the West Virginia Humanities Council as Doug Wood takes on the character of Gabriel Arthur.
Arthur is believed to be the first white man to see the Kanawha Valley while traveling with a band of Indians in 1674. He was sent from Fort Henry (present Petersburg, Virginia) to explore western lands and trade with the Indians. Arthur and the southern Indians with whom he traveled were welcomed at the large Moneton Indian village at present St. Albans before returning to Fort Henry with a load of furs.
