What it is

What do starving colonists, powdered-wig aristocrats, Confederate generals, moonshiners, civil rights activists, and data-center billionaires have in common?

Virginia.

In this fast-paced and often hilarious history, Jordan Blake Carter explores the people, events, and contradictions that shaped the Commonwealth and, by extension, the United States itself. From Jamestown's near collapse to the rise of modern Northern Virginia, Crowns, Cavaliers, and Confederates examines how one state repeatedly found itself at the center of America's biggest triumphs and greatest failures.

Because if Virginia teaches us anything, it's that history is never simple, and neither are the people who make it.
