P.S. Please note that the majority of interviews with former slaves
still living in Virginia do not appear in the Library of Congress
online collection, because (for a variety of reasons) they--like some
others--didn't make it into the main Washington archive. The
authoritative collection of Virginia interviews, therefore, is Charles
L. Perdue Jr., Thomas E. Barden, and Robert K. Phillips, eds., Weevils
in the Wheat: Interviews with Virginia Ex-Slaves (Charlottesville:
University of Virginia Press, 1992).
An unusually high number of Virginia interviewers were black, so we
have reason to surmise that the Virginia interviews may be more
uniformly accurate than those from other states.
