Book Description

Excerpt from Richmond: Illustrated Hand-Book and Guide With Notices of the Battle-Fields From the vantage ground of any elevated point in or around Richmond the eye takes in a scene of varied and picturesque interest. The natural features of the landscape, with its variety of hill, valley, and plain, threaded by the waters of the river, combine to make a picture whose beauty has long been admired and celebrated. These natural beauties seem a fit setting and frame for the city itself, with its varied human interests and romantic history. In natural and historic interest, fame ranks Richmond among the very first cities of the country, with a reputation far surpassing that of many other places superior to her in population and wealth.
