Volumes I and II - Georgia Edition, 688 + 415 pages Volume III - South Carolina Edition, 757 pages Volume IV - North Carolina Edition, 864 pages Volume V - Virginia Edition, 630 pages Volume VI - Washington, D.C. Edition, 303 pages "This collection of biographies of prominent Negro men and women of Virginia is Volume V of the Biographical History of the American Negro. It does not include all the important men and women of the race in the Old Dominion, but it does include many of the greatest and best. A book dealing with contemporary men and women can never be made quite complete or exhaustive, for even while it is being made some will move or die, while others will rise to take their places. We have sought to make the work representative, dealing with the leaders in every honorable profession and line of work. The representatives of business and commercial life have been given a rather larger place than in any of the preceding volumes. The Editor, who is also the Publisher, is grateful for the cordial spirit of co-operation shown by the hundreds who were interviewed. The present generation should find inspiration and encouragement in these stories, and it is believed that the future historian will find in them a faithful portrayal of the lives and times with which they deal."
