Excerpt from The Readjuster Movement in Virginia The present volume is the fifth work published by the Yale University Press on the Frederick John Kingsbury Memorial Publication Fund. This foundation was established August 3, 1912, by gifts to Yale University from Alice E. and Edith Davies Kingsbury, in memory of their father, Frederick John Kingsbury, LL.D., who was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, January 1, 1823, and died at Litchfield, Connecticut, September 30, 1910. Mr. Kingsbury was a graduate of Yale College in the Class of 1846, and an Alumni Fellow of the Yale Corporation from 1881 to 1899. The income of the Foundation is used "to promote the knowledge of American history and to associate the name of Frederick John Kingsbury with this study at Yale."
