New Roads in Old Virginia

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'New Roads in Old Virginia' offers a charming and insightful journey through the Commonwealth's most storied landscapes and historic sites. Writing at a time when modern roads were beginning to open the state to new exploration, Agnes Rothery provides a vivid guided tour that bridges the gap between Virginia's colonial legacy and the early 20th century. From the rolling hills of the Piedmont to the coastal serenity of the Tidewater, the narrative explores the architecture, gardens, and cultural heritage that define the region. Rothery captures the essence of Virginia's historical character while navigating its evolving infrastructure, visiting iconic locations such as Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, and the grand estates along the James River. The work serves as both an evocative travelogue and a historical meditation, highlighting the legacies of figures like Thomas Jefferson and the enduring charm of Southern tradition.
