Virginia Quilt Museum
Somewhere in our quest for modernity, we neglected to preserve the stories of the average women from long ago. But as the founders of the Virginia Quilt Museum have discovered, these women left tangible evidence of their lives. With vivid color pics and detailed histories this book chronicles the Old Dominion’s exceptional quilts and the stories behind them, some amusing, some poignant, and some downright ridiculous. Each page contains a full-color photo of a quilt with a caption that describes who made it, when, where, and the circumstances.
8¾” x 11” 134 pages, index, illus., paperbound.

This book covers the early history of DC from 1776 to 1863. You'll be surprised at how many cities served as the U.S. capital; you'll be amazed that the city was built--despite all the bickering, petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity.
