Paperback. Condition: Good. An award-winning author and historian, RICK BRITON has parlayed his passion for central Virginia's fascinating past into: numerous classes and battlefield tours; dozens of speaking engagements, radio interviews, and podcasts; a large number of essays and articles; two previous books; and now--with Virginia Vignettes--a marvelously eclectic collection of his widely popular stories. In Virginia Vignettes, master storyteller Rick Britton weaves for his readers a wonderfully rich tapestry of colorful people, momentous events, and long-forgotten anecdotes. The first of many to come, Virginia Vignettes (Volume I) features: express rider Jack Jouett, First Lady Dolley Madison, young Edgar Allan Poe, local Black Baptist Churches, thrill-seeker B. F. Ficklin, the U.Va. Rotunda Fire, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and Medal of Honor winner Frank Dabney Peregoy. Individually, Rick Britton's vignettes reveal little-known stories about the history of the Virginia Piedmont. Linked, they bridge almost two centuries.
