About this title

Review

Put simply, the DVB is one of the most exciting and ambitious publications projects to be undertaken in the last half-century. --Virginia Magazine of History and Biography

Reference works are a vital source for conducting research. Biographical dictionaries are particularly useful. Good ones are worth their weight in gold. If the first volume of the Library of Virginia s Dictionary of Virginia Biography (DVB) is any indication of the quality and thoroughness of the volumes to follow, then the complete dictionary will be worthy of its own vault --Filson Club History Quarterly
