ROYSTER, CHARLES. The Fabulous History Of The Dismal Swamp Company: A Story Of George Washington's Times. Alfred A. Knopf, New York: 1999. ISBN: 0679433457
626 pages. Traces the rise and fall of the eighteenth-century transatlantic culture that was built on the insatiable demand in Europe for Virginia tobacco and the equally insatiable American demand for European goods. Royster writes about the many schemers and dreamers (including George Washington, Robert "King" Carter, two William Byrds, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert Morris) who failed to amass their desired fortunes, and a few realists (Samuel Gist, Dr. Thomas Walker, and Anthony Bacon) who succeeded. Includes an Index. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand New Book.
