This highly
illustrated publication marks the origins of a revolutionary new nation,
focusing on the years 1775 and 1776, the events that preceded and followed, and
the people who contributed to its formation. The book recognizes Virginians who
have become famous for their role in shaping the new nation, including
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and spotlights the multitude of ordinary people
who were living and acting in those extraordinary times. Combining compelling
modes of presentation with historic artifacts, artwork, and documents, the
volume acknowledges the central notion that Virginia's history is America's
story: complex, diverse, and inspiring.
