Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abbreviated Hand-Book of Virginia The salt air from the surrounding sea and the high temperature of the gulf-stream make the climate milder and less liable to frost than other localities much further south. The State weather service of the Department of Agriculture, at Bird's Nest, reports monthly average temperature for year ending 30th November, 1892, 58.1; monthly total precipitation for the same period, 46.80 inches; average monthly precipitation, 3.90 inches. The soil of this section is a light sandy loam, warm and easily tilled; the sub-soil is red clay. Corn and oats were long the staple crops of the Eastern Shore; but with the unsurpassed facilities for marketing small fruits and vegetables, the latter industry has come to be the principal one. This region is one of the principal market gardens for the great cities of the north. The climate is pleasant and salubrious, the salt air being wafted over the Peninsula from almost every point of the compass. Transportation communication with market is by steamboat and sailing vessels. A fine line of steamers plies regularly between this county and Baltimore. In this way the staple crops, the sweet and Irish potatoes, the onions, peas, cabbages and other vegetables, and the small fruits, are sent to the markets of Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, bringing an annual return to the producers of a million and a half of dollars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hand Book of Virginia: Information for the Homeseeker and Investor In days agone it has been said that the people of the State which claims Washington and Lee as her sons are wont to dwell in the past and to drowse their way through life with memories of what has been. And, surely, if ever this species of lotus-eating were pardonable in any case, it should be in the Virginian, for behind him are three centuries of glorious history. But the charge of inertia has now grown obsolete; today it would fall for want of truth. Time was when it seemed as if Virginia had grown inert and supine, but out of this very inertia was to be born her salvation. Staggering under the wounds in icted by the war of secession r - staggering when other less spirited communities would have fallen never to rise again - she bravely faced the changed conditions and wrought order out of chaos. Surely this was no task for rhapsodists. And yet it must be admitted that the Hand which tempers the wind for the shorn lamb guided Virginia in these dark days and Opened her eyes to opportunities within her borders which never before had been realized. Mayhap the Old Dominion, even after the first light of her illimitable resources had burst on her vision, was still slow to see and understand her wealth; but today it is fully recognized, and her people are rejoicing in her blessings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School History of Virginia A very practical difficulty in the preparation of a text book on history exists in the fact that the length of the school session varies so widely in different locali ties. To meet, as far as it is possible to do, the demands of the school with a full nine months session, as well as the school with a six months session, with a single book, the School History has been so arranged that sections can be omitted without destroying the story as a whole. It is unnecessary to say that. Omissions should not be made unless necessary, but in view of actual difficulties, the text can be shortened to suit the individual school.
