The Height of Our Mountains: Nature Writing from Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley

Rating:
Summary: Lovely resource for Virginia history
Review: The book's title is a quote from Thomas Jefferson, "The
height of our mountains has not yet been estimated . . .".
Jefferson's essay is among the 70 reprinted here, from
1612 to 1948. This historical material is fun to read
and is a great resource for children and others studying
Virginia's history and geography.
