Beach of Heaven is a history of the earliest settled areas in Washington. Birthplace of the state's canned salmon industry and cooperative extension movement, Wahkiakum County has a historic significance extending beyond its borders. Today it stands at the cusp of change as the rural occupations of fishing, farming, and logging, upon which the county has depended, suffer from outside influences and demographic shifts.

Dr. Malcolm Harris' two-volume history and genealogy of "Old" New Kent County (the three present-day counties in the aggregate) is one of the great achievements of Virginia local history of the last century. Clearfield Company is honored to have been selected by the Harris family to produce this hardcover edition of "Old New Kent County." Privately published and out of print for many years, this work takes on even greater importance in light of the loss of county records in New Kent and in King & Queen counties and the survival of mere fragments for King William County prior to 1865.
