History and Reminiscences Of Monumental Church Richmond, Virginia 1814-1878 By Geo. D. Fisher, 1880 511 pages, illustrated, indexed, searchable - Bonus Book - Particular Account of the Dreadful Fire At Richmond, Virginia December 16, 1811 By J. Kingston, 1812 48 pages, searchable Requires Adobe Reader 7.0 or higher to View (or MAC Preview Ver. 3) $9.99 + $1.99 shipping and handling http://cgi.ebay.com/Monumental-Church-History-Richmond-Virginia_W0QQitemZ200451066648QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2eabd08b18 Monumental Church was built between 1812 and 1814 to commemorate the 72 people who died on the site in the December 26,1811 Richmond Theatre fire. It was commissioned by Chief Justice John Marshall and designed by architect Robert Mills, the first American-born architect, the only pupil of Thomas Jefferson and the architect of the Washington Monument and White House of the Confederacy. Mills "had a reputation for being particularly concerned with fireproofing," probably owing to his work on Monumental, and later in his career designed Charleston's Fireproof Building as a testament to that fact. The original building on the site was destroyed by fire in 1802 and the Richmond Theatre would replace it. Famous parishioners included Chief Justice John Marshall whose family occupied pew No. 23, Edgar Allan Poe, whose foster parents the Allans were members and occupied pew No. 80, the Marquis de Lafayette when he visited Richmond in 1824, William Mayo of Powhatan and the Chamberlayne family. Three Richmond congregations were formed from Monumental, including: St. James's in 1831, St. Paul's in 1845 and All Saints in 1888. Deconsecrated in 1965, it was given by the Medical College of Virginia to the Historic Richmond Foundation, an affiliate of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.

This road, first used by wandering herds of buffalo and, later, Indian hunters, was later utilized by Daniel Boone for the Transylvania Company. Boone's company traveled from the treaty ground at Fort Watauga, by way of the Cumberland Gap, through the mountains and canelands of Kentucky to the Kentucky River, where they chose to settle the fortified town of Booneboro. At first, the road was little more than a footpath or packhorse trail. Spasmodic but insufficient measures were taken by the Virginia government to enlarge and improve the crowded thoroughfare. After Kentucky became a separate state, renewed efforts to grade, widen, and reinforce the road began. Sections of the road were leased to contractors who, in consideration of materials and labor furnished to maintain the road, were authorized to erect gates or turnpikes across it and collect tolls from travelers. For more than half a century after Boone's party traveled the road, the Wilderness Road was a principal avenue for the movement of eastern immigrants and others to and from the early West. Only the Ohio River offered an alternative route to the West. Thousands of settlers moved west through these converging highways. The Wilderness Road is still an important interstate roadway and constitutes a part of U.S. Route 25, known as the Dixie Highway

The peninsula is almost 180 by 60 miles and is bordered by the Chesapeake Bay on the west, and the Delaware River, Delaware Bay, and Atlantic Ocean on the east. The Eastern Shore of Maryland is composed of the American state's nine counties that are east of the Chesapeake Bay. They are Caroline County, Cecil County, Dorchester County, Kent County , Queen Anne's County, Somerset County, Talbot County, Wicomico County, Worcester County. Caroline County has no Bay shoreline. Only Worcester County has seashore, consisting of coastal bays and marshes behind two barrier islands. The number of barrier islands on the Maryland seacoast and the location of inlets has varied over the years. The Eastern Shore of Virginia consists of two counties (Accomack and Northampton) on the Atlantic coast of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. The region is part of the Delmarva Peninsula and is separated from the rest of Virginia by the Chesapeake Bay. Terrain is very flat throughout, and dominated by cotton, soybean, vegetable and truck farming, and large scale chicken farms. There are many barrier islands. At the northern end of the Atlantic side are the beach community of Chincoteague, famous for its wild ponies; and Wallops Flight Facility, a NASA space launch base. Tangier Island, off the western shore in Chesapeake Bay, is also a day tourist destination. The Eastern Shore, geographically removed from the rest of Virginia, has had a unique history of settlement and development.

Early Narratives Of the Northwest 1634-1699 Edited By Louise Phelps Kellog Published 1917, 400+ pages Requires Adobe Reader 5 or higher to View $9.99 + $1.99 shipping and handling http://cgi.ebay.com/Early-Narratives-of-the-Northwest-Genealogy_W0QQitemZ200292863510QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2ea2628e16 The discovery and exploration of the Northwest--the region of the upper Great Lakes and the northeastern part of the Mississippi Valley-- was accomplished by the French, who, by the 17th century, had begun populating the St. Lawrence Valley. Gifted with imperial imaginations, dauntless spirit, and adventurous dispositions, French explorers befriended the native Indian tribes and accompanied them on voyages into the vast hinterland that is now the heart of America. This volume contains narratives of the voyages of these discoverers and founders of the French empire in North America--narratives that capture the explorers' bravery, endurance, enthusiasm, and achievements, as well as provide illuminating studies of Native American life and customs. The journals and memoirs contained herein cover the voyages of Jolliet and Marquette, La Salle, Nicolet, Perrot, Radisson, Tonty, and other pioneers in the Great Lakes and Mississippi area. With the exception of Radisson's journal, all were originally written in French.

Genealogies of Virginia Families >From The William and Mary College Quarterly Family Archive CD GPC186, ISBN 9780806397320 $33.75 + $2.49 shipping and handling (Retails for $39.99 + $6.95 shipping) http://cgi.ebay.com/Genealogies-of-VA-Families-Wm-Mary-College-Quarterly_W0QQitemZ200428740224QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2eaa7bde80 (This is a NEW CD) This CD contains images of all five volumes of Genealogies of Virginia Families from the William and Mary College Quarterly and the single volume of Virginia Gleanings, which had originally been published serially in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. Of the three periodicals which were originally devoted to Virginia genealogy and history, the William and Mary College Quarterly was the most scholarly. The five volumes offered here contain every family history article published in the Quarterly from 1892 to 1943, when genealogical contributions ceased. No fewer than 500 genealogies referencing over 100,000 individuals were published, and these, together with a substantial number of Bible records, appear in this CD in entirety, with an alphabetical index. Models of excellence, these genealogies are essential for any serious research in Virginia genealogy. Also included on this CD is Lothrop Withington's Virginia Gleanings, which contains abstracts of 17th- and 18th-century English wills and administrations relating to Virginia and Virginians. Bearing reference to heirs and issue, family members, property, bequests, places of residence, and dates of emigration, the "gleanings" shed light on the English origins of thousands of early Virginians.
