Miriam Haynie tells the story of Virginia’s Northern Neck, the tidewater peninsula between the Potomac and the Rappahannock, century by century. She begins with the Indians, the early explorers and Captain John Smith, then follows the planter families, churches, schools and customs of the region, with figures such as Mary Ball, mother of George Washington.
A labour of local love, built on family papers and interviews, for anyone with roots in tidewater Virginia. Download the free EPUB.
