Book desription: Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A.: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. Rumors about the mysterious events of one October night would bring down one of Virginia's elite families. "Cynthia Kierner has her hands on a great story and I don't know anyone better equipped to tell it. The Bizarre scandal revealed the declining political and economic influence of the postrevolutionary Virginia gentry, as well as the divisions that emerged in this gentry as it slipped from its previous position of unchallenged authority. Kierner has uncovered a fascinating and long-neglected incident in Virginia's early history, one that can provide new insights in the changing nature of this society after the American Revolution." - Peter Bardaglio, Professor of History, Ithaca College. 246 pages, including a bibliography and index. The spine tail is lightly bumped. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
