About this title

Synopsis

The crowning achievement of the New Deal's Federal Writers' Project was its American Guide Series of books and pamphlets describing the nation's cities, states, territories, regions, and localities. Published by Oxford University Press in 1940, the Virginia guide is still in great demand more than sixty years later for its wealth of fascinating historical information. This reprint edition includes an insightful new forward by Garrett Epps.
