In October 1781, American independence was achieved on the battlefields of Yorktown, Virginia--a glorious event that the Continental Congress determined was worthy of a monument. Moving at the speed of government, it took one hundred years to act on this resolution. In that time, Yorktown had to come to terms with its role as a site of preservation rather than a center of industry or commerce. The story of the development and preservation of The Monument to Alliance and Victory at Yorktown is a tangle of government, military, artists, historians and forces of nature. Local author Maria Hepner explores the story of this monument and the town that surrounds it.

You'll hear echoes of the past as you stroll the streets of Williamburg -- the bustle of an energetic, pre-Revolutionary business and governmental center; Patrick Henry's blazing Stamp Act speech, demanding freedom at all costs; the ping of the blacksmith's hammer as a new nation is built. But there is a modern, forward-pushing hand that keeps the Historic Triangle ringing as it edges toward the beginning of its fifth century of existence. For the tenth year in a row, The Insiders' Guide to Williamsburg provides residents and visitors with fascinating history and modern-day happenings in nearly 400 pages.
