About this book
Walker covers a tremendous amount of historical and personal territory in this tribute to this unique aspect of Virginia history. Although the narrative jumps around, Walker's passion is obvious, and the autobiographical sections of the book never trump close attention to historical detail. Although self-published, this is a book that would behoove Virginians to read closely and claim proudly as their own. ~ Valley Haggard, Style Weekly
