Synopsis

Explore Southern Virginia's rich Civil War history and haunting abandoned sites through Liz Roll's captivating photography.

Southern Virginia’s heritage is rife with stories of the past and the buildings to go with them. Take a step back in time, into the Deep South, and learn about Civil War spies, including Richmond resident Elizabeth Van Lew, one of very few female spies. Step inside a lunatic asylum in Radford, into a world where apparitions are more common than visitors. Author and photographer Liz Roll takes you on a marvelous journey through where the South truly begins: Richmond, the austere capitol of Virginia and home to many beautiful abandoned sites with rich histories. Liz Roll weaves the reader through all these tales with a keen eye for beauty among the ruins.
