Part of our new and growing Mysteries and Legends series, Mysteries and Legends of Virginia explores unusual phenomena, strange events, and mysteries in Virginia’s history. Each episode included in the book is a story unto itself, and the tone and style of the book is lively and easy to read for a general audience interested in Virginia history.

Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Washington, D.C., history features 15 short biographies of notorious badguys, perpetrators of mischief, visionary if misunderstood thinkers, and other colorful anti-heroes from the history of the nation's capital.

Combining 50 rare, beautiful, and diverse maps of the Commonwealth of Virginia from the collections of the Library of Congress, informative captions about the origins and contents of those maps, and essays on state history, this book is a collectible for cartography buffs and a celebration of Virginia for residents, former residents, and visitors.

How did Virginia become the amazing state that it is today you may wonder? Virginia's Remarkable Women: Daughters, Wives, Sisters, and Mothers Who Shaped History recognizes the women who shaped the Old Dominion. The lives of female teachers, writers, entrepreneurs, and artists from across the state are illuminated through short biographies. Discover fifteen extraordinary women from Virginia's past, including Pocahontas, Martha Washington, Dolley Madison, travel writer Anne Newport Royall, pioneering banker Maggie Lena Walker, Civil War spies Belle Boyd and Elizabeth Van Lew, and poet Anne Spencer.

A fascinating collection of thirty-five compelling stories about events that shaped Old Dominion, It Happened in Virginia describes everything from the invention of America's original instrument, the banjo, to how Stonewall Jackson acquired his nickname.

Are you prepared to face one of life's certainties? No, not taxes. The other one. While you swore to love each other forever, and it might feel as if you've been together forever, life on earth is unfortunately finite. Either you or your spouse is guaranteed to pass away first; will the surviving one of you be able to manage the household, maintain finances and make the appropriate arrangements for a funeral or memorial service? Til Death Do Us Part can help couples prepare for such an inevitability (and improve their organization, finances and communication to enjoy now and for years to come). It can also walk a new widow or widower through the first days and months following the loss of a spouse. Full of useful information and anecdotes from dozens of surviving spouses, this book can help you prepare for the end of life, and make the most of living.

When Julia Barnes returns to Gray's Mountain to help her aunt, she must face the secrets and lies of her past. At the annual Christmas dance, the last, explosive secret is bared, putting the love and trust of three generations of women to the test. A heartwarming story set in a small town where everyone knows, remembers, and sometimes forgives.
