Description
From the beginning, the work was recognized as an important achievement in American historiography: "This book treats Virginia history from 1776 to 1861 and, though it professes only to review those matters which entered into or bore upon the long sectional quarrel between the eastern and the western parts of the state, taken altogether, it is the best history of the Old Dominion since 1776 we have..." -- William E. Dodd
