Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive account of Virginia's physical characteristics and cultural development to 1781, written by one of the state's founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson. It was written in response to queries from the French government, and contains detailed descriptions of the state's geography, natural resources, agriculture, manufacturing, laws, religion, climate and more, all framed within the broader context of the American Revolution. Jefferson's humanity shines through in his appreciation for the natural beauty of his state, while not shying away from aspects he found shameful such as slavery. This book is significant not only as an early American travelogue but as a primary source on the early years of the United States.
