Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Richmond: Its People and Its Story
Readers from a distance who would like to know Richmond better are cordially invited to come in spring with the pansies and irises, when bees are swinging in linden blossoms, or in early summer when roses are embow ering porches, or later, when blooms like the lucious hearts of ripe watermelons glow in crepe-myrtle boughs, or in autumn when maples are ablaze in streets and in parks. At any of these seasons long sections of many streets will be shady green arbors. You will be equally welcome if you come in Winter, but do not be surprised if a cold wave has, for a day or perhaps a week, tucked this city which the sun loves into a blanket of snow and fringed it with icicles.
