Description
|
|
|
|
From the first depiction of "Virginia" in the New World on a 1585 map drawn by John White (actually part of North Carolina) to a 1907 survey from the Engineering Department of the Virginia Passenger and Power Company, depicting electric rail lines along with Civil War fortifications and the grave of Powhatan, this book traces the ever-evolving identity of the Commonwealth. Beautifully illustrated with more than 50 captioned color reproductions of antique maps, surveys, battle plans, bird's-eye views, and other regional images, this is history with an eye to the land and how we used it, reflecting the culture and sensibilities of the state and its residents through time.
