    High atop Overlook Mountain in Woodstock are lest vestiges of a man's obsession with building a mountain hotel that would not fall victim to the fires that claimed many of the Hudson Valley's original "Mountain Houses" in the 1800's.

    After the fort two Overlook Mountain Houses were destroyed by fire, Morris Newgold envisioned of a fireproof Hotel built completely of concrete.

    By 1939, Newgold ran out of money to finish his dream, but the ruins of the partially built hotel, chapel, power station, and stables still stand to this day.

    A quick drive up Rock City Road takes tourists partially up Overlook Mountain to a small parking area. There tourists can hike up the steep 2 mile road that leads to the ruins.

    The history of Bluefield begins in the 1780s, when two families settled in a rugged and remote part of what is now southern West Virginia, and built a small village with a mill, a church, a one-room schoolhouse, and a fort for defending the small settlement against invasions by the much larger Shawnee Indian tribe on the banks of the Bluestone River. The Davidson and Bailey family had to sell a portion of their land when in 1882, Captain John Fields, of the Norfolk and Western Railroad pioneered the area and began building a new railroad through the hills of Bluefield (named after the chicory flowers in the area that painted the landscape a purplish blue hue during the summer) and nearby Harman, Virginia.

    Underneath the feet of the Davidsons and Baileys lie the largest and richest deposit of bituminous coal in the world - the soft burning coal which was ripe for fueling the industrial machines of the developing world.
