The Revolution in Virginia. E-book. Formato PDF. The present work is chiefly based on the original sources of information in the archives department of the Virginia State Library. This great collection has been used before, of course, and some of the papers are in print, but I think that no one but myself has ever examined it exhaustively with a view to such a book as The Revolution in Virginia. I have given references to the manuscript collection as it is now classified in those specific cases where references may be of use; in the case of generalizations I have followed the inferences which I have drawn from my study of the mass of material.<br><br>I am under obligations to Mr. William G. Stanard, of the Virginia Historical Society; Dr. W. E. Dodd, of the University of Chicago; Dr. D. R. Anderson, of Richmond College; and Dr. Douglas S. Freeman, for reading the manuscript and making useful suggestions. My debt to Mr. James D. Wise, who spent much time in aiding me to make revisions, is so great that I am at a loss to devise a fitting acknowledgment.
