Colonial Williamsburg : The Story

Description:

"This book, a companion to 'Colonial Williamsburg: The Guide: The Official Companion to the Historic Area,' recounts Williamsburg's 'story'--the events and circumstances that led to the town's founding and its community life and political importance up to and through the Revolutionary War. It offers a bit of postwar history as well, including Williamsburg's experience of the Civil War and the town's eventual restoration-all 301 acres of it. The history of Williamsburg is critical to the American story of who we are and how our nation came to be"--
