The elegant and imposing Governor's Palace, official residence of seven royal governors and the first two governors of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, is the subject of this lavishly illustrated book. Barbara Carson explains how Virginia's eighteenth-century chief executives lived in the palace and used its public spaces to reinforce the image and authority of the British crown. She also discusses the inventory of Lord Botetourt, penultimate royal governor, an invaluable resource document that has answered many questions about the building and its contents.

George Yetter's informative text describes why Williamsburg was founded and flourished during the colonial period. He traces the deterioration that followed when the capital moved to Richmond in 1780, and concludes with the exciting story of how Williamsburg's past was saved. Old photographs, daguerreotypes, watercolors, sketches, and maps capture "pre-restoration" Williamsburg. Lovely color "after" photographs show that the vision and dream have been fulfilled.

Today, the City of Williamsburg, Virginia, lives in the shadow of the reconstructed historic area of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Visitors come by the thousands annually to visit the recreated colonial town where the Founding Fathers walked. Sadly, a forgotten fact is that the very ground in Williamsburg where the Founding Fathers once walked was later soaked with the blood of their children and grandchildren during the Civil War. Most visitors are unaware that it is truly hallowed ground. This book is an attempt to tell some of the forgotten stories of when America was at war with itself.
