Here's a great Gift Idea! A Treasury of Virginia TalesUnusual, Interesting and Little Known Stories of Virginia by Webb Garrison
From the Publisher: Called the "Old Dominion" by King Charles II of England because of its loyalty to the Crown, Virginia has long enjoyed a unique prominence in American history. No other state approached Virginia's importance in providing leadership during the colonial era and presidents for the young nation. The state continues to wear its mantle of leadership well.
From the rugged Blue Ridge Mountains to fertile valleys and beautiful seashore, Virginia is a land rich in natural resources. Most of all, however, Virginia has been known for its outstanding people — ordinary citizens and leaders, men and women, heroes and humanitarians, warriors and peacemakers. Virginia's greatest treasure has been its people, who have never shirked duty or leadership for the nation. The events and places that touched their lives are the subjects of A Treasury of Virginia Tales, including:
Explorer Alexander Spotswood, whose raid on Bath Town killed the pirate Blackbird Pocahontas, the Indian princess who became America's first celebrity Wilmer McLean, on whose farm the opening battle of the Civil War was fought and in whose Appomattox home the South surrendered, ending the war William McGuffey, whose "little books" shaped the mind of nineteenth-century America Thomas J. ("Stonewall") Jackson, the nondescript professor who became a legendary military tactician
Written with humor and vitality, A Treasury of Virginia Tales is a gold mine of fascinating stories about the Old Dominion's past.
