American History Lovers must read this!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great Dismal: A Carolinian's Swamp Memoir (Chapel Hill Books) (Paperback)
To those who love American History will love the realistic and descriptive view of the Dismal Swamp. It is rich with events of African Americans as well, the connections the early settlers had with the Spanish, Native Indians, French, Dutch and Britsh. It describes the Dismal Swamp so well, I visualised being there myself and sharing the feelings of those worked, struggled and lived and died in the Swamp. It is the story of a man who shared his love for the Swamp and the history behind it. I have made plans to visit there this Spring. Take some time over coffee or tea and start enjoying your journey to the Dismal Swamp from the begining of George Washington personal interest in the Swamp to the 20th Century. For anyone who has any roots to the Southwest region of Virginia, you will be pleasantly surprised. I found one of my husband's ancestors qouted in the book. Holga Reyes
