In 1837; the people of Guyandotte; then a village on the Virginia frontier; resolved to open a school for their sons and daughters. Tradition says local lawyer John Laidley convinced his neighbors to name the school for his friend; Chief Justice John Marshall. The one-room log cabin that housed those first students soon gave way to a two-story brick building that; with various additions over the years; became the school�s Old Main. For decades; the cherished landmark has stood like a proud sentinel; watching Marshall grow and evolve into a major university with an enrollment over 16;000. This remarkable volume; with more than 200 historic photographs from the Marshall archives; chronicles the dramatic Marshall saga.
