DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The fourth president of the United States, James Madison, and his wife, Dolley, stamped their influence throughout Culpeper, Orange, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties with their plantation, Montpelier, and the enslaved men and women who supported them. ...The legacy of slavery undergirds the region, and its ravages are undeniably on the faces of minority residents. ...A Texas native and Virginia resident, Terry L. Miller is an author and museum curator who helps local communities document and display their histories. Descendants shared family lore so that a portrait emerged of African American beauty, spirit, resilience, and pain." -- page 4 of cover.
