A quick check of the Library of Virginia Web site provided 16 hits on
Harry F. Byrd as the subject of a variety of articles and books. The
most thorough biography is Ronald L. Heinemann's _Harry F. Byrd of
Virginia_ published in 1996 by University Press of Virginia. The book is
a culmination of about 30 years of research and writing on the subject
by Professor Heinemann of Hampden-Sydney College History faculty. A
google search for an historical figure, as you discovered, is virtually
useless. There is no Royal Road to history....

Folks,

       I'm doing a page in Famous Americans on Harry F. Byrd, Sr. who is
studied in the fourth grade. I did a google search, but didn't turn up
much
useful to build a biography on. I know he was the author of Pay as you
Go,
and Massive Resistance, but not much else. If anyone knows of an online
biography, or who can look at what I have and fill me in, I will greatly
appreciate it. http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/famamer/Byrd.html
