Specificatii
Historic Sites in Virginia's Northern Neck and Essex County is an
indispensible guide for those who have an active or potential
interest in the rich history of the Northern Neck region of
Virginia and its historic sites. This six-county Tidewater region
includes the birthplaces of George Washington, James Madison, James
Monroe, and Robert E. Lee. The guide includes a brief history of
the region beginning with the exploratory voyages of Captain John
Smith up the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers in 1608, and his
encounters with various local Native American tribes. The 460
historic sites described here range from grand plantations such as
Stratford Hall, to the modest early homes of middling planters, to
early churches, schools, and courthouses. Most of these sites still
exist, but some "lost" sites are also included because of their
historical significance, and as reminders of the continuing need
for active preservation efforts. The book contains 445 photos
together with 36 maps showing the location of these historic sites.
The general cutoff date for inclusion was the Civil War, but the
guide contains descriptions of some later sites as well, including
many early African American schools and churches, and important
sites involving the steamboat and fishing industries. Distributed
