Better yet, read Charles S. Sydnor, Gentlemen Freeholders: Political
Practices in Washington's Virginia (1952), the classic account of
politics late in the colonial period, which was substantially enriched
and revised in John Gilman Kolp, Gentlemen and Freeholders: Electoral
Politics in Colonial Virginia (1998).
