The story of WVs Capitols is without doubt one of the most interesting in the US. Bourn out of bloodshed and strife of the Civil War the first Capitol was located at the city of Wheeling, where sentiment for separation from old VA was nutured. The unfolding drama of political maneuvering that led to the move to Charleston and back again to Wheeling and finally to Charleston would rival any work of fiction. The authors have tried to concentrate on those elements of history that are not widely known.
