INDEX TO THE VIRGINIA CAVALCADE compiled by Rachel Marks and Lois Raymond 1992-2008 Introduction Compiled by two John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library volunteers over a number of years, this index includes articles and illustrations published in volumes 1-51 of the Virginia Cavalcade a quarterly published by the Library of Virginia, 1951-2002. Volume numbers are underlined, followed by the quarterly number, in parentheses, followed by pages. Beginning with Volume 24, pages were numbered consecutively throughout each volume, so quarterly numbers have been omitted. Here are examples: 16 (2):13-34 indicates Volume 16, Autumn number, and page numbers. 27 :154-157 indicates Volume and page numbers. The following symbols have been used: (M) for map within the pages given. (D) copy of document within pages given. * artistic production or photograph of person, place, or thing within pages given. Almost all articles have illustrations of some type, but not all are indexed. Unfortunately, Volume 18 includes a Number 5, which should be Volume 19, No. 1. This index includes material for that number under 18 (5) and there is no reference to 19 (1). (In the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library that number may be found in either Vol. 18 or Vol. 19.) Items about Virginia government appear under two headings: "Virginia , Colony," and Virginia, Commonwealth." Information about entries indicated with ========== may be found in the card file in Special Collections. 2 A Aaron, Hank, baseball player, 48 :109 Abbey, R.A., artist "The singing seats of an old-time country church," 6(2):16* Abbot, Henry L., Capt., mapmaker, 48 :30 Jacob, educator, "The Teacher," 49 :136,137 William Richardson, educator, 1(3):17 Abb's Valley massacre, Tazewell Co., 1786, 2(1):16,19* Abercromby, Robert, Continental officer, 31 :65 Aberdeem Academy, 29 :102,104,106 Abingdon, town, 25 :80,85* Barter Theater, 10 (1):4,10* Highlands Festival, 10 (1):10 Abingdon Episcopal Church, 19 (3):1,6*; 20 (2):19*; 32 :171 Abingdon House, antiques store, 45 :107 Abingdon Monument, 12 (2):10* Abraham, Samuel F., Va. disabled soldier, 47 :15,20 Abrams, Joseph, Richmond free black, 46 :120,124 Abshire, Rev.
