What is Virginia: An Illustrated History (Illustrated Histories (Hippocrene)) about?
<p>With over 60 photographs, illustrations and maps, Virginia: An Illustrated History guides readers through a concise, intriguing look at Virginia's crucial role in American history.</p> <p>The seeds of an American nation were planted in Jamestown, Virginia, and from that moment, Virginia's history became inextricably linked to the birth of a new nation. Sons of Virginia led the revolt against the British, drafted The Declaration of Independence, and helmed the Confederate side of the civil war. Modern-day Virginians from Arthur Ashe to Douglas Wilder, the first African-American governor in American history, broke new ground for racial equality. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Shenandoah Valley, from Monticello to the Eastern Shore where Chincoteague ponies roam, Virginia reflects the complex history, breathtaking beauty, and the unsurpassed potential of America itself.</p>
