The Migration Into Richmond (1775 To 1860), Ada May Land
Master's Theses
Richmond has today become one or the most important cities in the South. The foundation was laid for this early in its history. In 1775 Richmond was a village of only a few houses; in 1860 it was a growing city.The story o! the years between 1775 and 1860 is tied up closely with the story or the migration or people into Richmond and with their lives as they helped to develop the capital or Virginia.

A Survey Of Early Washington County And A Study Of The Development Of Hollenberg, Kansas, J. Holland Vernon

A Chapter In The History Of Orange County, Virginia, William Livingston Kirby
Master's Theses
In 1753 Orange County could hardly have still been oalled a frontier region, but its society remained like that of the more exposed communities to the west for some time. It was neither overpopulated nor was the land intensively cultivated.

These wolves were suffi ciently destruotive to demand bounties, and many farmers, planters and. gentlemen eked out their income by presenting the head of a wolf to the sheriff, who paid a hundred …
