| Summary: | The stories of the passions and personalities that placed Virginia in the forefront of the Revolutionary War were replete with grief and sacrifice. The breakup of families over political differences was common. Bereavement spared few, as evidenced by the death of George Washington's stepson. But courageous characters persisted, from the "Paul Revere of Virginia" to the enslaved man turned American spy who helped ensure the Continental Army's final victory at Yorktown. Author and TV host Chuck Mills documents the human side of the Revolution in the Old Dominion, including chronicles of battles, leaders and the impact of war on ordinary men and women. -- |
