Excerpt from Historic Virginia Homes and Churches This work includes practically all of the principal Colonial homes of historic interest in the State of Virginia now standing and many which have been destroyed, together with the churches most likely to engage attention. In 1888 the writer began to gather photographs of historic buildings in Virginia for his private collection, and later, upon the request of friends, decided to publish them. The making of the collection as complete as possible and the gathering of the historical data have involved years of labor and much travelling in conveyances of many sorts and by foot. It may be said that the work was done at the psychological time, for much information gathered in past years would now be impossible to secure and much of that recently added will soon be as inaccessible. The information has been made as full as the great number of houses treated would allow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The great majority of the South's plantation homes have been destroyed over time, and many have long been forgotten. In Lost Plantations of the South, Marc R. Matrana weaves together photographs, diaries and letters, architectural renderings, and other rare documents to tell the story of sixty of these vanquished estates and the people who once called them home. From plantations that were destroyed by natural disaster such as Alabama's Forks of Cypress, to those that were intentionally demolished such as Seven Oaks in Louisiana and Mount Brilliant in Kentucky, Matrana resurrects these lost mansions. Including plantations throughout the South as well as border states, Matrana carefully tracks the histories of each from the earliest days of construction to the often contentious struggles to preserve these irreplaceable historic treasures. Lost Plantations of the South explores the root causes of demise and provides understanding and insight on how lessons learned in these sad losses can help prevent future preservation crises. Capturing the voices of masters and mistresses alongside those of slaves, and featuring more than one hundred elegant archival illustrations, this book explores the powerful and complex histories of these cardinal homes across the South.

The South-West Mountains are located in the center of Albemarle County, Virginia. The list of those who have lived there is a long and honored one. It is the birthplace of presidents, governors, and statesmen. Their homes reflect their personalities and will be of more than local interest. This book perpetuates the characteristics of these famous houses, many of which are fast disappearing under the advance of modern architecture. It provides a portrait of them as they once stood, as well as anecdotal accounts and brief genealogies of their inhabitants. The text is enhanced by twenty-three illustrations and a map of the historic homes. Homes include: Thomas Jefferson's birthplace, Shadwell, his home, Monticello, and two of his farms, Lego and Pantops; Edgehill, owned by the Randolphs; Belmont, owned by the Everetts; East Belmont, owned by Isaac Long, Esq.; Sunny Side, summer home of J. P. Pace, Esq.; Fruitland, residence of A. P. Fox, Esq.; Cismont, summer home of Colonel H. W. Fuller; Castalia, estate of Murray Boocock, Esq.; Music Hall, home of Captain James Terrell; Belvoir, home of the Nelsons; Kinloch, home of Dr. Tom Meriwether; Rougemont, home of the Dickinsons; Hopedale, home of the Boydens; Castle Hill, home of the Rivses; Keswick, home of the Pages; Edgeworth, home of the Gordons; Broad Oak, home of Edward C.

Excerpt from Historic Homes of the South-West Mountains, Virginia The celebrated section of the South-West Mountains, Virginia, stands as pre-eminently among her sister sections as does the Old Dominion in the galaxy of stars in the Union as the birthplace of Presidents, governors, and statesmen, as well as the seat of a refined and hospitable people. The list of those who have lived here is a long and honored one. Many names are of such national celebrity that it is felt that any account of those who bore them and of the homes which so reflected their personality will be of more than local interest. My object has been to do for these historic homes what Bishop Meade has already done for the churches of Virginia, - to perpetuate the characteristics of these famous houses along the South-West Mountains, many of which are fast disappearing under the advance of modern architecture, giving a faithful picture of each as they once stood, as well as an anecdotal account and brief genealogy of their inhabitants, thus embalming the traditions of these noble Virginia families.

During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The WPA Guide to Virgina documents the vital role the Old Dominion played in the history of the first 150 years of the United States and before. It is packed with historical information, particularly from the Colonial and Revolutionary years, and supplemented with photos of historic buildings and sites. Also worth note are the artistic photographs of the state’s ordinary people and its natural beauty, including the Shenandoah and Chesapeake Bay regions.
