Subscribers to this discussion board will be interested in a recent publication, At a Place Called Buckingham: Historical Sketches of Buckingham County, Virginia, Volume Two, by Joanne L. Yeck.

At a Place Called Buckingham collects a dozen essays depicting the people and places of Buckingham County, Virginia. Details gleaned from newly discovered county records, contemporary newspaper accounts, and private collections result in a marvelous mosaic of life at the very heart of Virginia. Meet the proprietors of 19th-century hotels and health resorts, ferry operators, educators, stewards of the poor, planters and their slaves, the hard-working men of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and notables whose influence reached far beyond the county. A bonus section, "Maysville Gallery," features photographs made in 1933 as part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South.
