The Evolution of the Southern Backcountry

A few years ago, I discovered that some ancestors of mine settled in Lunenburg County Virginia in the mid 18th Century. Because I was born in the Midwest but currently live in Virginia, I found that information particularly interesting and made the trip to Lunenburg to see what I could learn. I stayed at a B&B and discovered that the host was quite into genealogy and history, and he took me to the courthouse and showed me where I could find the records I was looking for. I spent a great day looking at old deeds and such. He also recommended this book, which I was able to order. It is dry and detailed and took me a long time to get through, but it's an impressive (if incomplete) account of the area.
