Review:

Superb volume...a detailed and very entertaining work...A reading of this generously illustrated volume in conjunction with a trip would provide the best conceivable history lesson, a true appreciation of both the meager and momentous beginnings of this nation. (The Washington Post)

Mapp has a genius for narrative history almost equal to that of Parkman himself...the reader will be entertained and enriched. (Arthur Pierce Middleton, THE VIRGINIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY The Washington Post)
