Leavengood, Betty

Author Betty Leavengood grew up in the small community of Deerwalk, just outside of Parkersburg. Her interest in history began at a young age when she explored the remains of the oil boom town, Volcano. A Parkersburg High School, Marshall College, and Ohio University graduate, Leavengood presents a fascinating retrospective, celebrating-in word and image-the singular past of Wood County.
