This collection contains ledgers of the West Iron Gate Land Company a Clifton Forge (Alleghany County), Virginia manufacturer of pig iron.

In addition to a letter book from West Iron Gate Land Company, there is a volume from its predecessor, Hileman, Waring and& Company; and from Hileman and Colburn, which seems to have managed the company's land sales.
