Virginia Books

This book teaches the latest in parli debate while still being down to earth and really easy to understand. You'll laugh - you'll cry - you'll learn a lot. It comes with easy drills and things as well to get you started as well as a host of topics to try. All in all - I couldn't do without it!

This is an excellent book, written by a very knowledgable and good teacher. I was lucky enough to take a class from him, and from what I have seen of his book, it is just as a fantastic survey of art in India as the class was.

This book is written by a missionary to the Congo. It is very encouraging for "new" widows.

You will never know what a joy your book has brought to me. For you are long gone from this earth, and I cannot tell you. This book is a rare treasure giving details about the city of Buena Vista and Rockbridge County in the early days. Mr. Robey, a pure bread southern gentleman, recalls pigs running down Main Street of Buena Vista. He tells about the Opera House in her days of glory where celebrities came and went. Gives great details regarding Southern Seminary College, now know as Southern Virginia University. What a jewel for my bookshelf.

I highly recommend this book to any wildflower enthusiasts in the region. A great addition to anyone's reference library.

Spiral bound book with maps showing where frogs/toads, salamanders, turtles, lizards, and snakes have been found across Virginia. There are no photographs in here - just maps by species. For the gray tree frog, for example, there is a map of Virginia with the county lines drawn. There are dots on the map showing where the frog has been identified. There's also a small map of the US with the broader distribution of the species shown so you can see how isolated or not the species is. There's just a brief paragraph that tals about the species so you need to look to other books for habitat needs, reproductions, etc. This is a super resouce. I'm really glad I found it as I start getting into amphibian monitoring.

As Continental forces and Virginia militia units were engaged in winning independence, American quartermasters and provisioners struggled to provide these units with all the necessities of life, from meals and guns to meat, fodder for horses, the horses themselves, firewood, and every other type of material. Much of this was requisitioned from the civilian population and certificates were issued payable in either continental or state funds, depending on the units supplied, upon presentation to court authorities. Thousands of these certificates issued to Virginians were duly entered by the courts, and they provide a fascinating insight into the period of the Revolution. These "Publick" Claims booklets contain interesting and useful information about the contributions of ordinary people to the Revolutionary War. They provide some details of people's service in the militia or as guards for prisoners of war; they indicate where some bodies of troops were at particular times; and they identify providers of horses, wagons, cattle, grain, or other supplies. Much of the information in these booklets cannot be found anywhere else, which makes the surviving records particularly valuable. Also remarkable is the fact that records survived from virtually every county in the state at that time with the exception of the newly formed Kentucky counties. This makes the collection even more valuable in covering areas which heretofore in this time period have suffered from a lack of personal data. The "Virginia Publick Claims" are published by counties. In addition to a faithful transcription by Janice Luck Abercrombie and the late Richard Slatten, a complete index is provided for each county booklet. This series is an extremely important genealogical tool for searchers in Revolutionary-era materials.

La famille Cutler est la 3eme saga de VC Andrews que je lis. Tout comme la famille Logan et les Orphelines j'ai adoré ce livre. Comme dans chaque roman de Andrews il y a beaucoup de suspense caché derrière une histoire de famille, des épreuves a surmonter et bien sur une belle héroïnes sur laquelle le destin s'acharne. Après avoir lu le 1er tome de cette série j'ai acheté le tome 2 que j'ai aussi adoré. Maintenant j'ai commandé le 3eme tome que j'attend avec impatience afin de decouvrir la suite de l'histoire. Un livre que je recommande a n'importequel fan de VC Andrews.

Thank you, Virginia. Your story is truly the American dream put into print. From a childhood of poverty and hardships, this remarkable young woman has raised herself to a caring, influential teacher, much beloved by her students. This book is written in an engaging first-person style that brings the reader point-blank into the author's life and gives us a front row seat to the struggle of overcoming disadvantages on the way to achieving the goal of bettering oneself.
