The A. P. Hill Book!
The mysterious powers-that-be have shipped over a few more boxes of that remarkable new book Wealthy in Heart: [An] Oral History of Life Before Fort. A. P. Hill. Those books will be distributed FREE, on a first come-first-served basis, until the boxes are emptied.
Come pick up your FREE copy at the Adult Reference Desk at the Headquarters Branch, or have one held for you by calling 540-372-1144, ext. 233.
Produced for the Department of the Army, this profusely illustrated 400 page book is the best thing that has ever come out on the farms that were destroyed, and the families that were displaced, by the building of the fort. A treat for genealogists and local historians!
Several copies have been entered into the CRRL collection, of course, and will still be there for you to check out, even when all the give-aways are gone.
My folks believed that a library was good for all, and that what was good for all would be good for them.
