9781332438105: Calendar of Transcripts

Synopsis

This book is an extensive collection of manuscripts and original documents dating back to the colonial era. Compiled from over a decade's worth of transcriptions of lost and rare records housed in the London Record Office, the work offers a trove of information for historians and genealogists alike. Spanning subjects as diverse as religious petitions, military service, and land grants, this collection serves as a vital record of not only Virginia but the broader American colonial experience. Of special interest is the inclusion of journals from the Virginia House of Burgesses, many of which were lost in the Capitol fire of 1865. A groundbreaking feat of historical preservation, this work illuminates a critical period of American history and offers scholars an invaluable resource for centuries to come.
