What can be said about any book presented that displays the beautiful state of Virginia. The beaches, the mountains and called where settlers first landed in America, or some think. Those that believe what has been written of history have read from that authors point of view. BH presents the state as is. No embellishment, just the facts. The eastern beaches are beautiful, the values along the Shanendoah, the Blue Ridge trail, etc. Seeing is believing. My favorite spot was Virginia Beach. This is an excellent presentation of one of our oldest states.....DEHS
