Virginia Books

As a Social Studies teacher at a Middle School I found this book valuable as a resource to share the events and stories of the American Revolution with my students. The book is readable and provides the inside story on key events that shaped the American Revolution and our country. I recommend this book to anyone interested in American Revolution history and especially to teachers searching for insights to share with their students.

Landon Covington Bell's Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg County, Virginia 1746-1816 is an excellent research tool and historical account of the area. Included are family descendants of the Rev. James Craig and the Rev. John Cameron. Many other families are included in this work: Gee, Hardy, Bacon, Claiborne, Stokes and many more. The second part of this book includes the Vestry Book 1746-1816. This is a valuable source of marriages, tithes and property information.

During the "French and Indian War" both Britain and France tried to "hire" Cherokee mercenaries. The interaction between the British, the Provincials, and the Cherokees evolved into a full-blown, separate conflict which twice required action by the British military in the southeast, especially in the colonies of South Carolina and far western Virginia. This is a well indexed and chronologically ordered collection of various documents from that conflict sent by, and to, the Commander of His Majesty's forces; Jeffrey Amherst.

Hard to find this one. I have looked through it and have been trying to find one ever since, but no one seems to want to give their copy up. Nice photos and comprehensive information.

The late Miss Grace was the foremost authority on ancient wine jars, amphorae, and worked for many years at the Agora in Athens. This book is the result of years of experience and therefore gives the reader all the benefit of her wide knowledge. Nowhere else can one find such a succinct look at these very interesting jars. The pamphlet is particularly valuable for the non-expert who just wants to know which type of jar is which, how they were used and what they contained. Very well done!

I received this book as a Christmas present and read it the following week. Since then, I have either recommended it to friends or purchased copies as gifts to friends.

If you are interested in Appalachian history, American history during the depression years, or interested in the current debate in our country about eminent domain, there is something in it for you. These letters and the research that they inspired give a unique perspective of a particular time and place in American history. It helped me to understand better the complex fabric of our whole country.

I thought that this book was really good. I like reading the Animal Inn series. I liked how in this book Val and her dad who is a vet tried to save a injured dog. But the dog happens to die. But when the owners come to claim the dog that died him the little boy is very sad.But when he gets a new dog he is happy.

This Book Talks about Anne Bailey's life. This really fantastic book would tell you about Anne Bailey's fantastic poems. This book is in order and the story talk's about when Anne Bailey was a little baby. Anne Bailey was interested in the early history.
We don't know when Anne Bailey was born but we do no the year she was born which is 1742.
The most interesting thing I read in this story was Anne Bailey's fantastic poems. The best part was when she wrote " All Day she braved the forest dark, at night her bed the branches stark, Nor quailed at e'en the wolf's wild bark."
I think students and teachers should read this book because Anne Bailey's poems are so fantastic.

anni albers' breath taking, evolved, inteligent and futurestic work is well represented in this book. visually , this book is stunning. the little glimpses into her family photos make it warm and more familiar also, adding another dimention to the presentation. excellent! m ust have by anyone who appreciates asthetics.

This and other books authored by Melinda Lukei being advertised by the seller "MomTo6" as "limited" and "out of Print" is misleading and deceptive at best and possibly a violation of copyright. It sounds like the seller is buying these books from the author with the expressed purpose of reselling them at vastly inflated prices just for the purpose of profit. If the seller is making copies of these books and selling them that in itself would be criminal
