- Summary
- "This book is one of a series prepared by the Virginia Writers' Project for use in the schools of the state. It represents an effort to write the story of the United States and of Virginia from the viewpoint of the county.... This little book, therefore, attempts to show that the Virginia historian can focus upon a single county and at the same time sketch the whole state upon his canvas. It is written not only for high school pupils but also for the adult audience. --
