It Happened in Virginia (It Happened In Series)

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating glimpses into Virginia's past
Review: Whether you're a Virginia resident, one of her many admirers from afar or a general history buff, you'll enjoy It Happened in Virginia. Interesting, informative and entertaining, It Happened in Virginia consists of 33 brief historical sketches of various people and events that shaped the 400-year history of Virginia.

Some of the incidents described in the book had far-reaching repercussions on American history, while others were more along the lines of quirky local lore. But they're all written with vivid detail, subtle insight and a genuine love for the state of Virginia that sings through each page.

I have a number of friends and family members who live in Virginia (I'm from there, myself) and I'm already planning to give them copies of this book for the holidays. I'm sure they'll love it.
