Overview

Excerpt from The Story of Thomas Jefferson A broad band Of Silver moonlight lay across the rippling surface Of the little River Rivanna, flowing rapidly through wilderness and sweep Of new-made meadowland, bordered by many a tangle Of shrubbery and bending sapling, to mingle with the deeper waters of the James. Old Virginia, then young Virginia, lay asleep. It was a land whose thriving plantations sent over to Mother England their great hogsheads of tobacco, but where the settler's axe still hewed out his farm from the pathless back woods, and the restless and cruel savage prowled on the war trail or followed the deer.
