Biographical History
An act of the General Assembly approved February 9, 1836 directed a survey be completed to establish the best route for a railroad from Gordonsville to Harrisonburg, the practicality, advantages to the community, and probable cost.
Charles Shaw was the Librarian at the North Carolina College for Women (now UNCG) from 1920 until 1927. He left the North Carolina College for Women to become the Librarian at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.
Charles Shaw's report to the Board of Public Works summarized findings based on field notes taken by Mr. Sinton, which estimate the degree of difficulty and the expected cost of the road from Bath to Shepherdstown, a distance of 32 1/2 miles.
