4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any "Wahoo"!, April 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr. Jefferson's University: A History (Paperback)

As a 1995 graduate of UVA, I found this book to be extremely educational. I only wish I had purchased it as an undergrad so I could have wandered the Grounds finding the areas Mr. Dabney wrote of. Mr. Dabney was an expert on UVA and Mr. Jefferson. I look forward to reading more of his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1930s Faculty Brat, May 16, 2000

By 

James N. Bardin - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Jefferson's University: A History (Paperback)

As a faculty brat in the 1930s,I literally grew up on the UVA grounds. On reading my first copy of Mr. Dabney's book (he was a close personal friend of my parents) I was struck by the rich lode of information verifying much that had been rumor during my teens. My dad, Dr. James C.Bardin a medical doctor, opted to teach Romance Languages. He is mentiond in the book. Mr. Jefferson's University sparkles with vivid memories of a delightful time in my youth. It is a wonderful historical document written so as to interest just about anyone who likes Virginia, and especially the UVA.
