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....

Byrd, Sr. 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 Anne Pemberton To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
