This text is comprised of three parts. The first part, a general history, surveys events from the discovery of America and first settlement of Virginia until 1845. The second part presents a geographical and statistical description of Virginia, containing results of the 1840 government census. This part also contains essays on miscellaneous topics such as the origin of the appellation \"Old Dominion,\" the region's slavery and tobacco, the Indians, etc.; plus lists of Virginians who have held high public stations and extracts from the ancient laws of Virginia. The book's third and principal part is arranged by county, in alphabetical order, where each is successively treated, touching on local history and geography as well as prominent citizens. The following are included: descriptions of towns, literary institutions, churches and religion, public buildings, seats and memoirs of eminent Virginians, antique structures, natural scenery, anecdotes, local history and more. This work includes more than 100 illustrations of notable persons and places. Appended is a historical and descriptive sketch of the District of Columbia.

Richard Plummer Jackson (1816-1891) relates to the reader the history from the era of Indian settlement, establishment as a significant Maryland port for Potomac River trade, and the loss of its charter when absorbed into the City of Washington in the District of Columbia. The Chronicler gleaned information from the citizens of Georgetown, among whom he was born and reared. Although this work was not intentionally biographical in nature, it describes the key players in events which founded this early center of commerce. The opening chapter presents historical background, while subsequent chapters describe the effects of adverse weather on people and trade; construction of canals, bridges and aqueducts; establishment of banks and civic positions; fires and fire companies; churches and cemeteries—for both white and colored persons; the College, Monastery, libraries and schools; and social organizations.

Throughout its two-hundred-year history, the area has served as an arsenal, penitentiary, Artillery Post, U.S. Army Engineer School, Selective Service records repository, U.S. Army Band School, Military Police School, and is presently the home of the National Defense University, the Inter-American Defense College, and Headquarters of the Military District of Washington. The British suffered their worst loss here in 1814 when the Washington Arsenal powder magazine accidentally blew up. An 1831 building has been preserved where the Lincoln conspirators were tried and hanged in the courtyard. The 1838 Ordnance Departments' Model Museum is now used as living quarters, and the 1893 Army General Hospital is unchanged since Walter Reed (discoverer of the cure for yellow fever) died there following an appendectomy. The historic Army War College with its hundred-foot vaulted rotunda of Guastavino tile and terrazzo flooring is a Federal landmark. Approximately forty vintage photographs from the N.D.U., Walter Reed Army Hospital, and the Engineer Historical Office show Fort McNair in its various roles over the years.

Her detailed recollections of her family, neighborhood and church (as well as her leadership role in America's first successful black labor union) paint a vivid portrait of her life and times in the nation's capital. \"The Washington I grew up in, which then had a population of fewer than 300,000, was a very agreeable place, virtually free of slums and relatively free of crime.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring her lifetime, Mrs. Tucker witnessed significant historical events, major social change, and technological advancements. She saw the mode of transportation evolve from horse and carriage, and trolley cars, to the variety of vehicles involved in the congested traffic of the 1980s. The daughter of former slaves, she attended Washington's prestigious M Street (later Dunbar) High School and became an accomplished pianist, composer, and music teacher. In her youth, she heard tales of slavery from the mouths of former slaves. She attended the funeral of Frederick Douglass in 1895 and witnessed the Washington Race Riot of 1919. She participated in the March on Washington in 1963, and experienced, in her lifetime, the growth and death of segregation in the District of Columbia. Her first husband was the eminent poet and minister James David Corrothers. After his premature death, she married a second time to Berthea Johnson Tucker, a Pullman Porter, and in 1925 she helped to found the Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters, the first successful African-American labor union in the United States. For most of its existence, she served as Secretary-Treasurer of its Ladies Auxiliary. For many years an elder at Washington's Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, she was also active in civic and community work. As she approached her hundredth birthday, she became a national celebrity, giving lectures and making appearances on television, recounting her years as a labor and civil rights activist. A year before her death at 1987, she was participating in a picket of a local supermarket. \"Although I live far removed from the time I was born, I do not feel that my heart should dwell in the past.

The remains of children were moved to join the burial place of their families; notable figures were often buried were they died, then moved to their long-term residence or place of birth; and many graves were moved when their original burial site was abandoned, condemned, or disturbed. The practice of moving remains but leaving monuments added to the challenge for researchers. Monuments are expensive to move and reset, so they were frequently discarded. The Presbyterian Burying Ground, one of the oldest public cemeteries in the Potomac valley, is the primary focus here. There may never be a complete record of burials, but this volume begins the reconstruction with a wealth of information gleaned from several different record groups. A brief history of the Presbyterian Burying Ground, a facsimile reprint of a surviving map, a list of plot owners, and a plat of square 103 (1887) is followed by entries for known burials and possible burials.
