"Summer at Buckhorn" is set in southern Virginia.  I recall this novel from my late childhood with great fondness, but I cannot recall the author.  I believe it is Mary _____.

The TV series "Mosby's Marauders" was set in Va. but filmed in California.  The scrubby trees and dry terrain looked funny when thinking of Northern Virginia's lush greenery. 

There is a book written about Mary Ingles and her trip home along the New River after being captured by Indians.  I think it is "Long Way Home" but I am not sure.  Does anyone else know it and the author's name?  It is a great read if you like historical novels 

I hope someone is retaining this accumulated list for a website somewhere.
