Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Virginia Information for the Homeseeker and Investor
In days agone it has been said that the people of the State which claims Washington and Lee as her sons are wont to dwell in the past and to drowse their way through life with memories of what has been. And, surely, if ever this species of lotus-eating were pardonable in any case, it should be in the Virginian, for behind him are three centuries of glorious history.
But the charge of inertia has now grown obsolete; today it would fall for want of truth. Time was when it seemed as if Virginia had grown inert and supine, but out of this very inertia was to be born her salvation.
