Reprinted by JARMAN'S, iNCOIEI'dltATKD from the 1SS7 Edition for THE GREEN BOOKMAN Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1887, by WYNDHAM ROBERTSON In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. I offer to the narrow circle it may interest, as well as I have been able to restore it, the Tree of Pocahontas and Rolf e, as it has grown from them as its root to its seventh season (inclu­ sive) of fruitage. I accompany it with illustrative sketches of some of its notable products, within my reach, in order to relieve the blankness of it, by revealing something of its in­ ward succulence as well as its outward form. I have conden­ sed them as much as in my view consisted with my object, knowing how insignificant the whole matter is amid the great surges of the world it is thrown upon. The notice of Poca­ hontas is exceptionally long for reasons apparent on the face of it, involving, as it does, incidentally, the vindication of Captain Smith against the unfriendly strictures of some mod­ ern critics, and which all lovers of justice will thank me for introducing.

An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M. Wolf skill); "Not One to Stay at Home: The Papers of Lou Henry Hoover" (Dale C.

    OLD DOMINION COOK BOOKS A BIBLIOGRAPHY Virginia Writers' Project By Henry I. Bowles Williamsburg Art of Cookery, or. Accomplished Gentlewoman’s Companion, arranged by Mrs. Helen Bullook, printed for Colonial Williamsburg, Incorporated, by August Dietz & Son, Richmond, Virginia, 1938. 276 p., illus., bibl. Based on, and as far as possible a reproduction of. The Compleat Housewife, or Accomplished Gentlewoman’s Companion, printed in 1742 by William Harks in Williams­ burg, Virginia. Mrs. Bullook brought the earlier work up- to date and consulted many old books on cookery — some printed in London, others in this oountry as early as 1812, and many of origin in this country, considered Virginian in their oookery traditions, publish­ ed as late as the year 1922. The bibliography lists a number of manuscript cook books in the possession of persons in Virginia or nearby States and believed to date from the year 1801 to the year 1839. Both as a cook book and a work of art, the volume is outstanding. In addition to the recipes, it contains "An Account of Virginia Eospitality; Treatises on the various Branches of Cookery; an account of Health Drinking; some Considerations on the Observation of Christmas in Virginia, with traditional Recipes for this Season; with the Author's Explanation of the Method of Collecting and Adapting these ohoioe Recipes; and an alphabetical IHDLX to the Whole." The book is printed on especially made rag-content paper. "The Illustrations, by Elmo Jones, of Richmond, Virginia, are newly drawn in simulation of the Technique of the eighteenth Century Engravers and are reproduced with Line Cuts." "The Bind­ ing, hand-forwarded, by Meister and Smethie, of Richmond, Virginia, is styled on the simple Designs used by Harks on his less ambitious productions."

  • Mrs. Mary Randolph. the Virginia Housewife Or, Methodical Cook
    Mrs. Mary Randolph. The Virginia Housewife or, Methodical Cook. Third Edition. Washington, D.C.: T. Thompson, 1828. Tudor Place Archive. Hogs are in the highest perfection, from two and a half to four years old, and make the best bacon, when they do not weigh more than 150 or 160 lbs. So wrote the Virginia hostess and culinary expert Mary Randolph (1762 - 1828). Randolph’s cookbook, the first southern cookbook published in America by an American author, described 18 recipes for hog’s meat, including bacon “in the Virginia style”, sausage, bologna sausage, shote cutlets, barbeque, black pudding, and delicacies such as soused feet with ragout. (In southern kitchens, the term shote (or “shoat” to English cooks) referred to a fat young hog.) Virginia Housewife quickly became one of the most acclaimed cookbooks in Washington City and circulated widely among the city’s elite; this edition originally belonged to Martha Peter’s friend Marcia Burns Van Ness (1782– 1832). Raised at Jefferson’s own boyhood home, Tuckahoe Plantation, Randolph resided in Richmond, Virginia, and operated a profitable boarding house before she and her husband moved to Washington, D.C., around 1820. The first edition of her cookbook was published in 1824. After her death in 1828, Mary Randolph was the first family member interred at Arlington, home to her cousin Mary Lee Fitzhugh Custis and George Washington Parke Custis, who was Martha Peter’s younger brother. To Stuff a Ham Take a well smoked ham, wash it very clean, make incisions all over the top two inches deep, stuff them quite full of parsley chopped small and some pepper, boil the ham sufficiently; do not take of the skin.

  • ROGERS-DOCUMENT-2018.Pdf
    Abstract Jefferson’s Sons: Notes on the State of Virginia and Virginian Antislavery, 1760–1832 by Cara J. Rogers This dissertation examines the fascinating early life of Thomas Jefferson’s book, Notes on the State of Virginia, from its innocuous composition in the early 1780s to its appropriation as a political weapon by both pro and antislavery forces in the early nineteenth century. Initially written as a statistical introduction to Virginia for French readers, Jefferson’s book evolved into an intellectual tour de force that covered almost all facets of the state’s natural and political realms. As part of an antislavery education strategy, Jefferson also decided to include a treatise on the nature of racial difference, as well as a manifesto on the corrupting power of slavery in a republic and a plan for emancipation and colonization. In consequence, his book—for better or worse—defined the boundaries of future debates over the place of black people in American society. Although historians have rightly criticized Jefferson for his racism and failure to free his own slaves, his antislavery intentions for the Notes have received only cursory notice, partly because the original manuscript was not available for detailed examination until recently. By analyzing Jefferson’s complex revision process, this dissertation traces the ways in which his views on race and slavery evolved as he considered how best to persuade younger slaveholders to embrace emancipation. It then moves beyond Jefferson to examine contemporary responses to the Notes from white and black intellectuals and politicians, concluding with an attempt by Jefferson’s grandson to implement elements of the Notes’ emancipation plan during Virginia’s 1831-32 slavery debates.

  • From the Director's Desk
    FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK NewsDuring the twenty-second annual Loudoun History Awards ceremony in November, four individuals were recognized for their special contributions to preserving local history. This year’s honorees were Vernon Peterson for his contributions to research, preservation, and documentation of African Americans in Loudoun County’s history, and Stephen C. Price for his contributions to land conservation, historic preservation, and the history of Loudoun County. These individuals have made significant contributions to preserving Loudoun’s past through collection of county documents and memorabilia, preservation of historic landmarks and property, visual arts, writing, and long-time commitment to local history organizations. During the awards ceremony, certificates of special recognition were presented to recently retired Town Manager, John A. Wells, for his many years of personal support of history and preservation throughout Loudoun County, Leesburg, and in particular Thomas Balch Library, and the Honorable Charles L. Waddell for his many years of personal and legislative support of history and preservation including land conservation throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia and in particular, Loudoun County. The occasion was remarkable for the convivial retelling of anecdotes, memories, and shared experiences in the effort to preserve the historical presence in Loudoun County. It is my pleasure to share exciting news on a wonderful initiative of the Black History Committee of the Friends of the Thomas Balch Library (BHC). The BHC is planning a tour of African American historic sites in Loudoun County. The tour, based on the BHC’s publication, Loudoun County’s African American Communities: A Tour Map and Guide will introduce visitors and the County’s community to the shared history of Loudoun, and travel along a route of additional historical sites included in the Journey Through Hallowed Ground.
