Book Description:

Virginia's history is America's history -- the first permanent English settlement in the New World was in Virginia, and the state went on to join the original revolt against British rule. During the Civil War, it seceded from the Union to join the Confederacy and during Reconstruction it had the country's first African-American governor.
