TITLE: Road To Revolution, Virginia’s Rebels From Bacon to Jefferson (1676-1776)
DESCRIPTION: “Road to Revolution is an analysis of popular political thought of leading intellectuals in Virginia during the period from 1676 to 1776. It shows that Virginia’s leaders in the founding of the nation had a significant native political philosophy of their own. This philosophy had essentially its own motivations and impulses. The influence of John Locke, European thinking and Puritanism played a part, but this was as a background role and never the main current of Virginia’s political idealsim”–from the preface. Chapters on Nathaniel Bacon, Landon Carter, Richard Bland, James Blair, The Beverley Family, petitions of New Kent, Charles City, Isle of Wight and Northampton county residents

FAQ: What is a “Family File” in the catalog?
Our Family Files contain various loose paper research materials donated to us by professional and amateur historians and researchers. They sometimes, but do not usually, also contain copies of pages from published books that would be found on our library shelves. Family Files are arranged by surname and may cover multiple lines and counties, mostly in eastern Virginia. They are of varying quality. Some include carefully researched data complete with citations to sources. Others are simply genealogical charts, family group sheets, handwritten notes, or other data which may or may not include references. Printed or scanned copies can be purchased. Contact us for specifics.
