Julia Davis

West Virginia-born author, journalist, and social worker Julia Davis is best known for her writings about the history of western Virginia and the role of her family in shaping that history. She was born in Clarksburg in 1900. Julia Davis published her first book, Sword of the Vikings, in 1927. She followed that publication with more than twenty other books, primarily history and fiction, though she also published two autobiographical works—Legacy of Love, a memoir of her West Virginia childhood, and The Embassy Girls, a memoir of her time as an ambassador’s daughter in England. She also published two novels, The Devil’s Church and Cruise with Death, under the pseudonym F. Draco. Julia Davis died January 30, 1993, in Ranson, WV.
