Colonial Virginia: Its People and Customs is a comprehensive historical account of the early settlement and development of Virginia from the perspective of its people and their way of life. Written by Mary Newton Stanard, a prominent historian and genealogist of the early 20th century, the book covers a wide range of topics, including the founding of Jamestown, the role of the Virginia Company, the early struggles of the colonists, the growth of the tobacco industry, the establishment of slavery, and the political and social changes that took place during the colonial period.Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including diaries, letters, and official documents, Stanard provides a vivid portrait of colonial Virginia society, from the wealthy planters and merchants to the indentured servants and enslaved Africans who made up the majority of the population. She also explores the customs and traditions of the colonists, from their religious beliefs and practices to their food, clothing, and housing.Throughout the book, Stanard emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex and often contradictory nature of colonial Virginia society, which was shaped by a complex mix of economic, social, and political factors. She also highlights the ways in which Virginia's colonial history continues to shape the state and its people today.Overall, Colonial Virginia: Its People and Customs is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Virginia, the colonial period, or early American history more broadly. With its engaging writing style, detailed research, and insightful analysis, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and sheds light on the forces that have shaped the present.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
