> The document HolstoniaBibliography101.pdf is an experimental, 
> permanently-in-progress, bibliography and commentary written with the 
> convictions that 1. The pre-1800 history of Southwest Virginia and 
> Northeast Tennessee is important and insufficiently appreciated, and 2. 
> That we live in an amazing world. It is a document written to be searched 
> in and clicked on. This posted document is version 1.01.
>
> This pdf file is a linked bibliography. A number of sources of the primary 
> documents of Virginia history can be reached by clicking on the 
> appropriate places in the document. Examples of the relevance of such 
> documents to the history my region are included. The document includes a 
> glossary and offers practical hints about how on line documents to which 
> it links can be accessed and manipulated.
>
> While its focus is western Virginia, many of the linked references are 
> comprehensively relevant to Virginia history.
>
> The document invites criticisms, complaints, comments, questions, and 
> suggestions for its improvement. It remarks that "… subscribers to [this 
> VA-Hist] list will be singularly unbashful in taking me to task both for 
> my errors and for my opinions."
