I've read my copy (bought w/a Christmas gift card)--and enjoyed it thoroughly. If someone will send me an address I'll send it on to LVA!

  Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Update on 1833 Census


  Hello, again!

  The Library of Virginia reference librarian suggests looking at --

  Miscellaneous reel 1320-1323
  APA 757
  Free blacks records, 1833-1863

  In responding to my query, William Luebke, reference librarian, passed on truly appalling news.  Due to budgetary problems, the LVA is unable to get the book The Hemingses of Monticello:  An American Family.  This is an important book about an important chapter of Virginia history.  Publishers Weekly said -- "This is a scholar's book: serious, thick, complex. It's also fascinating, wise and of the utmost importance. "  If the LVA can't afford such a book, we are truly in perilous times.  

  I hope LVA has it on a wish list to order when remainder copies are available.  If the LVA can't afford this book, what else is it missing out on?

  Sally Phillips
