THE classic history of lovely Virginia
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Despite recent publications timed to coincide with 400 years of permanent English settlement, this is the most complete, insightful and well-written history of Virginia available. Don't be put off by the fact that it's somewhat dated. Dabney covers Virginia like the morning dew, with particular attention to biographical details of important men and women from Virginia's past. Also, Dabney balances politics, economics and culture well in this book, treating each with careful attention. One minor infraction: His attention to the Virginia upstate, west of the Blue Ridge, is somewhat arbitrary, a common problem among Virginia scholars. Hopefully historians take up this issue in due time.
