&gt;Fellow VA-Hist list subscribers:

&gt;

&gt;The document HolstoniaBibliography101.pdf is an experimental, 

&gt;permanently-in-progress, bibliography and commentary written with the 

&gt;convictions that 1. The pre-1800 history of Southwest Virginia and 

&gt;Northeast Tennessee is important and insufficiently appreciated, and 2. 

&gt;That we live in an amazing world. It is a document written to be 

&gt;searched in and clicked on. This posted document is version 1.01.

&gt;

&gt;This pdf file is a linked bibliography. A number of sources of the 

&gt;primary documents of Virginia history can be reached by clicking on the 

&gt;appropriate places in the document. Examples of the relevance of such 

&gt;documents to the history my region are included. The document includes a 

&gt;glossary and offers practical hints about how on line documents to which 

&gt;it links can be accessed and manipulated.

&gt;

&gt;While its focus is western Virginia, many of the linked references are 

&gt;comprehensively relevant to Virginia history.

&gt;

&gt;The document invites criticisms, complaints, comments, questions, and 

&gt;suggestions for its improvement. It remarks that "… subscribers to [this 

&gt;VA-Hist] list will be singularly unbashful in taking me to task both for 

&gt;my errors and for my opinions."
