About this book
Virginia is described by land, era and institution in this 1961 survey by Dorothy M. Torpey, head of social studies at Francis C. Hammond High School in Alexandria. The opening chapter places the state between North and South, gives its area as about 40,815 square miles, thirty-sixth among the states, and describes the Blue Ridge, the Allegheny Mountains and the Coastal Plain.
Later chapters follow history in three periods (1584 to 1775, 1775 to 1860, and 1860 to the present), then economic, cultural and political life, ending with the state constitution, Bill of Rights, local government and state symbols.
