Shiloh question

I have enjoyed reading all of your Shiloh books and movies and that makes me want to visit West Virginia where the book takes place. Can you share with me what your favorite areas were so I can go visit and experience what you write about, please?

I really enjoy blogging all of my travels and this is one area that I would like to visit this summer.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

A lot of people have done the same thing.  It has been quite some time since we visited here, as my husband’s friends–who finally adopted the dog who became Shiloh in my book–moved away.  Shiloh is just a small community–not even a town.  Find Wheeling on the map of West Virginia, way up at the top of the map along the Ohio River, then follow the river all the way down to Parkersburg.   Halfway between them is the town of Martinsville.  And a little below that is Sistersville.  Starting at Sistersville, going down the river a little more, you will come to the post office of Friendly.   Ask there for directions to Shiloh, “where the books about a dog takes place.”  The paperback edition of  Shiloh (Sept. 2000) has photos in back of how the area looked then.
