Congratulations on this magnificent recovery. Hard to believe the old guys
didn't jump on the $200 reimbursement, although I know $200 at that time was
a lot. The value of the book far exceeded $200.
Thanks for sharing this event of historical significance.

You may have seen our recent social posts about the return of the record
book Liber A, 1731-1732, to Prince William County. The volume was taken as a
souvenir during the Civil War, but it's journey back to Virginia in the
1930s is a bit more complicated. Learn more in today's The UncommonWealth.
